In "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.
