☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Parasols of Plunder," the Penguin, newly paroled under the condition he abandon all things avian, surprisingly pivots to running an umbrella shop—only to prove that crime never truly takes a vacation, especially when it’s parasol-shaped. Written by Bill Woolfolk and brought to life with classic flair by Bob Kane, Lew Sayre Schwartz, and Charles Paris, this 1966 tale sees the villain’s latest scheme unfold under the cover of fashion, with Joe Letterese’s crisp lettering and a cover by Bob Kane adding to the charm.
In "The Parasols of Plunder," the Penguin, newly paroled under the condition he abandon all things avian, surprisingly reinvents himself as a purveyor of high-end umbrellas—only to prove that even in rain gear, his criminal flair remains unmatched. With a flair for the dramatic and a mind full of schemes, he’s back in business, and Gotham’s streets are once again in for a storm.
In "The Penguin's Fabulous Fowls!", the eccentric criminal mastermind returns to Gotham with a menagerie of mythical giant birds, claiming he’s turned his life around—though Batman and Robin aren’t convinced. When the birds break free and begin causing chaos across the city, the Dynamic Duo must track down the feathered fugitives and uncover the Penguin’s true intentions before it’s too late.
In "The Return of the Penguin," the icy menace of the Penguin resurfaces from semi-retirement, spurred by scorn from the criminal underworld, launching a new wave of bird-themed crimes that challenge the wit and resolve of the Caped Crusader and his young partner. With a flair for the theatrical and a mind sharp as a beak, he once again pits his cunning against Gotham’s guardians in a game of cat-and-mouse that’s as clever as it is dangerous.
In "The Sleeping Beauties of Gotham City!", Selina takes center stage at a high-stakes beauty contest, outsmarting Batman with flair and just enough mischief to stay one step ahead—until she suddenly falls ill, slipping into a mysterious coma. Even the Dark Knight is left stumped as the Catwoman’s presence lingers in the shadows, haunting the scene while Selina remains unconscious, her secret life suspended in stillness.
