Batman: The Dailies #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the daily newspaper comic strips featuring Batman from 1944 through 1945, originally syndicated during the character's early Golden Age. It presents a continuous narrative of the Dark Knight's adventures, drawn by Jack Burnley and others, as part of Kitchen Sink Press's series reprinting these classic strips. The collection offers a glimpse into Batman's wartime-era exploits before the modern comic book format dominated.
In "The Two-Bit Dictator of Twin Mills," Batman and Robin arrive in the strangely quiet town of Twin Mills, where the only voice of resistance is Ben Bellow, the defiant editor of the local paper—everyone else seemingly under the thumb of the eccentric and unorthodox Tweed Wickham. As the duo digs into the town’s eerie compliance, they uncover a power structure built on whimsy and control, where the line between satire and tyranny blurs.
In "Bliss House Ain't the Same," Martin Bliss returns to his family home after four years away, only to find it crumbling and his mother under the care of a mysterious stranger. When his college sweetheart vanishes, the case draws in Batman and Robin as they unravel a mystery rooted in the past.
In "The Karen Drew Mystery," Bruce Wayne finds himself drawn into a tense mystery when he accompanies Karen Drew to a friend’s house—only for gunfire to erupt and seemingly place her at the scene of a murder. With Dan Mitchell dead and Karen the prime suspect, Bruce’s instincts tell him the truth is far more complicated, and he sets out to uncover what really happened.
In "The Warning of the Lamp," Jo finds herself caught between loyalty and survival when her husband, Findlay Gribbidge, faces mounting pressure to sell his cattle farm—especially after his foreman Minnow and prospector Soapstone discover copper on the land. With tensions rising and secrets buried beneath the soil, Jo must navigate a web of deception where every decision could change everything.
