☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Alfred, Private Detective!", the Bat-ally takes a sabbatical from Gotham to run a detective agency in a neighboring town—only to find his first case is a real doozy: a man claiming to have shot the Batman. With no sign of the Dark Knight and a mystery already thick with danger, Alfred must rely on his wits and old instincts to solve a case that’s far more tangled than it first appears.
