Detective Comics #247
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDetective Comics #247 (September 1957) presents a genuinely startling cover image: Batman himself is hurling his own cape and cowl into a blazing fire, declaring to a shocked Robin that he's "through" and can never wear the Batman costume again. The bold cover teases the story "The Man Who Ended Batman's Career," leaving readers to wonder just what could drive the Dark Knight to such a dramatic act. Cover pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Stan Kaye make this a striking ten-cent slice of late-Golden Age DC drama.
