“Alfred, Private Detective!”

In "Alfred, Private Detective!", Batman’s loyal butler takes a rare leave of absence, opening a detective agency in another town—only to be hired by a suspect who claims he just shot the Dark Knight. Written by Don C. Cameron and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Dick Sprang, this 1945 tale offers a fresh, offbeat twist on Gotham’s shadowy world. The cover, by Jack Burnley and George Roussos, captures the mystery with a sharp, noir-inspired flair.
