The best Batman story I’ve read. Written by the greatest Batman writer, Bill Finger.
What I like about this story is how it shakes up the lore of Batman a bit. At this point Bill Finger was writing Batman for 15 years and he was still so creative. I think Finger’s ‘50s Batman comics are overall my favorite period for the character next to Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle stories of the late ‘80s/early ‘90s.
In this case we have Bruce Wayne discovering a bat costume belonging to his father. In the ensuing narrative we discover his father was targeted for his brave stance against a mobster by the name of Lew Moxon. During a masquerade ball Thomas Wayne is dressed as a bat before being accosted by gangsters to save their mob boss Lew Moxon.
Wayne fights back and in turn sets forward into motion the fateful night in crime alley.
Plus we have some cool blimp action and Batman acro-bating from plane to blimp.
It’s an epic story and it’s only 10 pages. Drawn beautifully by Sheldon Moldoff and Stan Kaye.

Frank Frazetta romance comics in glorious color as well as beautiful black & white. One of my favorite collections of his work, Sensuous Frazetta from Vanguard.

Believe it or not this is what peak Batman comics look like. In this story, written by Edmond Hamilton and drawn by two of my favorite Bat-artists Sheldon Moldoff & Charles Paris, we see Batman going out of town and members of Gotham’s high society bidding to be Batman for a day.
At one point Commissioner Gordon becomes Batman for a day and takes on some ne’er-do-wells. When Batman comes back to town and bids, as Bruce Wayne, to be Batman for a day the idea seems ludicrous to the public. Plus Robin is stellar in this story as he guides each new Batman in their crusading.
That’s the silver age for you, folks.

Remembering Jack Kirby on his birthday. He created such characters as Captain America, the Fantastic Four, Stan Lee and the New Gods. I think about Jack everyday, to me he’s the greatest pop culture icon of the 20th century.

When I think Marvel I think Kirby, but when I think Kirby I think comics.
