About this Collection

This omnibus collects Batman stories from the late 1940s, including issues of Batman, Detective Comics, and World's Finest Comics. It features the Caped Crusader and Robin facing classic foes like the Joker, Catwoman, and the Penguin, as well as lesser-known villains from the era. The volume continues DC's archival reprinting of Batman's Golden Age adventures, preserving the original comic art and coloring.

In "The Man with a Thousand Eyes!", Killer Moth sheds his old identity to become a chilling imitation of Bruce Wayne, tricking Dick Grayson into believing he’s the real Batman. With a surgically altered face and a plan to turn Gotham against its protector, the impostor Batman escalates his crimes—until a brutal betrayal leaves him broken and amnesiac. Penciled by Bob Kane and Lew Sayre Schwartz, inks by Charles Paris, this classic tale from the Golden Age delivers a twisted identity twist that still packs a punch. The cover, by Evan "Doc" Shaner, captures the eerie transformation in striking detail.
