“The Flying Dutchman II!”

In "The Flying Dutchman II!", Batman and Robin pursue a mysterious pirate submarine preying on ocean freight, only to be captured and pressed into service aboard the ghostly vessel—now known as the Flying Dutchman II. With the crew wagering on Batman’s true identity beneath the cowl, the Dynamic Duo must outthink their captors while staying one step ahead of the sea’s newest curse. Penciled by Bob Kane and Lew Sayre Schwartz, with inks by Charles Paris, and a cover by Win Mortimer, this 1951 adventure blends swashbuckling suspense with the enduring mystery of Gotham’s Dark Knight.
