“Quarterback of Crime!”

In "Quarterback of Crime!", the Caped Crusader and his youthful partner face a gang of mobsters who’ve traded the gridiron for crime, using football strategies to orchestrate their schemes. With the help of Alfred’s surprising football background, Batman and Robin must outthink the crooks before their next play goes too far. Written by Don C. Cameron and illustrated by Bob Kane, with inks by George Roussos and lettering by Roussos, the cover by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson captures the high-stakes flair of this 1943 caper.
