Detective Comics #270
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDetective Comics #270 (August 1959) presents one of the Silver Age's most eye-catching covers, with cover pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Stan Kaye bringing to life a towering green alien creature looming over Batman and Robin as all three descend on parachutes from a smoking aircraft overhead. Robin's dialogue bubble — "We escaped just in time, Batman! Our special cluster chutes will break our fall!" — sets up a thrillingly odd alliance between the Dynamic Duo and their extraterrestrial companion. Inside, writer Jack Miller and artist Sheldon Moldoff (inked by Charles Paris) deliver the full story of "The Creature from Planet X," making this a wonderfully imaginative slice of late-1950s DC adventure.
