About this Collection

This second Silver Age volume collects more classic team-ups between Batman and Superman from the pages of World's Finest Comics, showcasing their adventures as the iconic duo during the 1950s and 1960s. Featuring stories by legendary creators, this trade paperback continues the reprint series highlighting the lighter, imaginative tales of the era.

In "The Battle of the Super-Heroes," a desperate alien filmmaker traps criminals Beaver and Midge to lure Batman, Superman, and Robin into a remote location for his out-of-this-world movie. As bizarre alien creatures are unleashed one by one, chaos erupts—especially when the captives break free and seize the alien's tech for their own ends. Written by Jerry Coleman and brought to life with classic flair by Dick Sprang and Sheldon Moldoff, this Silver Age-inspired tale blends action and humor in a memorable team-up. The cover, by Evan "Doc" Shaner, captures the wild spectacle with dynamic energy.
