Star Spangled Comics #88

Robin is spread-eagled and bound to the spinning propeller of an aircraft while a gun-toting villain looks on and a grim Batman stands nearby with arms folded — a genuinely arresting image that lives up to the bold cover headline "Robin Declares War on Batman!" This January 1949 issue of Star Spangled Comics promises "The Story of the Year!" and delivers a cover by Jim Mooney that puts the Dynamic Duo at dramatic odds in a way that's hard to walk past without picking up. The 52-page package also includes an extra Captain Compass story, making it a solid read for a dime.
