In "Robin Crusoe!", Robin finds himself stranded on a desert isle after a storm forces him to bail out of the Bat-Plane, only to face a new threat when a submarine carrying ex-Nazis arrives with plans to turn the island into a secret oil base. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated with crisp detail by Curt Swan—his inks by John Fischetti and letters by Ira Schnapp—this 1947 adventure blends wartime intrigue with classic survival drama, all captured in a striking cover by Swan and Stan Kaye.
