About this Collection

This 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.
