Batman Monthly Presents the Penguin #[nn]

Jul 1990 · Egmont UK · 0.95 GBP
“Eyrie”

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.

The Batman and Robin capture the Penguin attempting to pick up a postcard from the local post office, then discover the card is from the cagey bird's Aunt Miranda, wishing him a happy birthday, and who believes Oswald to be a successful, upstanding umbrella businessman. When it is discovered that the aunt is planning to visit Oswald, the Caped Crusaders try to keep the Penguin on the straight and narrow during her visit.
