World's Finest Comics #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Man Who Stole a Reputation!", Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster deliver a sharp, early tale of ambition and illusion, as mild-mannered Lester Link shocks reporters Lane and Kent by claiming to be the secret ruler of the underworld—only to find the real bosses have other plans. A 1943 gem with crisp art by Joe Shuster and a striking cover by Jack Burnley, this issue captures the flair of wartime comics with a touch of cheeky drama.
In a bustling city street during a routine errand, Alfred Pennyworth stumbles upon a criminal conspiracy that pulls him into a high-stakes chase. When he overhears a former foe of Batman plotting with a new gang of crooks—including Squirrel, Spud, Topper, and the slick Slick Swade—Alfred takes matters into his own hands, using his wits and courage to help recover a hidden fortune in diamonds.
