“The Sign of the Bat!”

In "The Sign of the Bat!", a routine day in the Bat-Cave takes a surprising turn when Alfred, struck on the head, awakens convinced he’s the Batman. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Stan Kaye and letters by Pat Gordon, this 1955 classic sees the real Batman letting Alfred play the role—until a real crime wave tests the disguise. Win Mortimer’s cover captures the moment perfectly, showing Alfred in full costume, unaware of the chaos to come.

While cleaning up the Bat-Cave one day, Alfred is accidentally struck on the head. He awakens, believing that he is the Batman, and he dresses for the role. The real Caped Crusaders allow the impersonation, but when Alfred tackles a gang of crooks, they make sure Alfred doesn't get hurt while they capture the gang.
