☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of DC's Batman Archives series reprints classic Batman stories from the Golden Age, collecting issues from the late 1940s. Featuring work by artists like Jim Mooney and writers such as Bill Finger, these tales showcase the Dark Knight's early adventures against a rogues' gallery of villains. The hardcover edition preserves the original comic book colors and artwork in a deluxe format for collectors.
In "The Dead Man's Chest," a 2008 Batman Archives entry, Big Jack Bancroft pulls off a daring scheme by kidnapping Kay Kyser and his saxophonist—someone who looks just like him—in order to take over Kyser’s popular radio show, "The College of Musical Knowledge," as a cover to evade the police. With the help of a clever broadcast and a mysterious guest, Kyser must find a way to signal Batman from the airwaves before the ruse unravels. The story, illustrated with crisp, classic flair by Dick Sprang and inked by Charles Paris, features vibrant coloring by Jamison, and a striking cover by Jim Mooney.
