In "The Voyage of the First Batmarine!", Batman and Robin dive deep to disarm underwater explosives—only to face the deadly bends when they can't ascend safely. With no time to spare, they transform a regular submarine into a Bat-Marine and plunge into the ocean’s depths to stop Slant Stacy’s undersea crime ring. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Dick Sprang, with inks by Charles Paris and letters by Pat Gordon, this 1954 adventure features a cover by Win Mortimer that captures the daring dive in bold, dynamic style.
