About this Collection

This volume collects the daily newspaper comic strips featuring Batman from 1943 through 1946, presenting the Caped Crusader's adventures as they originally appeared in syndication. The strips, written and illustrated by various creators of the era, capture Batman and Robin's wartime exploits and early crime-fighting cases in a serialized format that predates many modern comic book conventions.

In "What a Sweet Racket!", radio reporter Reed Parker finds himself at a moral crossroads when he believes he’s captured a photo that could unmask Gotham’s Dark Knight. With his reputation on the line and a scoop that could change everything, he must decide whether to broadcast the truth—or risk putting Batman in danger. Written by Al Schwartz and illustrated by Bob Kane, with inks by Charles Paris and letters by Ira Schnapp, this 2007 tale explores the weight of a single decision in a city where secrets are currency.
