☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume in Kitchen Sink Press's series reprinting the classic Batman newspaper comic strips collects the daily continuity from 1945 and 1946. Featuring work by writer Alvin Schwartz and artist Jack Burnley, these strips showcase the Dark Knight in the immediate post-war era, with stories that often reflect the shifting cultural landscape of the time. The collection presents a rare look at Batman's adventures as originally serialized for newspaper readers, offering a distinct narrative rhythm from the monthly comic books of the period.
In "The News That Makes the News," radio reporter Reed Parker finds himself at the center of a crisis when he believes he’s captured a photo that could unmask Batman—forcing him to confront whether his hunger for the next big story outweighs the consequences of exposing Gotham’s protector. With the city’s most dangerous criminals on the move and the clock ticking, Reed must decide how far he’s willing to go for a headline.
In "Ten Days to Live," Cappy Wren faces his final days with quiet resolve, choosing to marry his fiancé despite knowing his time is short. When an assassin targets him on his wedding day, Batman is drawn into a mystery: why would someone want to kill a man already marked for death?
In "Acquitted by Iceberg," Gotham’s newest legal sensation, the slick and unscrupulous Iceberg, waltzes into town with a flawless record of getting guilty clients off the hook. Batman, convinced the man’s success is built on tampering with evidence, launches a relentless investigation to expose the truth—before the city’s justice system collapses under the weight of his deception.
In "Deadly Professor Radium," a man once consumed by his obsession with radium has become a walking death sentence—his touch instantly fatal, his mind shattered by years of exposure. Now, he stalks Gotham, targeting those who feel despair, while Batman and Robin race to stop him before his twisted crusade claims more lives.
