Batman: The Dailies

From 2007 to the present, Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. has collected the classic newspaper comic strips in Batman: The Dailies, presenting the earliest adventures of the Dark Knight as originally serialized. Anchored by writer Al Schwartz and legendary artist Bob Kane, this series preserves the foundational, pre-comic-book tone of Batman’s daily newspaper run. It matters as a historical archive, offering fans a direct look at the character’s gritty, pulp-inspired origins before the camp of the 1960s TV show.
