Batman Monthly Presents the Penguin #[nn]
In "Eyrie," Batman and Robin intercept the Penguin mid-heist at a post office—only to find he’s not after loot, but a birthday card from his reclusive Aunt Miranda, who thinks he’s a respectable umbrella tycoon. With the aunt’s visit looming, the Dynamic Duo must navigate the Penguin’s unlikely family drama, trying to keep him from slipping back into villainy, all while a mysterious postcard hints at secrets buried in his past. Written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Jack Burnley, with inks by Charles Paris, colors by Anthony Tollin, and letters by Ira Schnapp, the cover by Don Newton and Dick Giordano captures the story’s darkly whimsical tone.
