The first solo adventures of Batman (and Robin) from WORLD’S FINEST COMICS - most of them unseen for over 60 years with only two ever reprinted since they originally appeared - are collected here! Showcasing the classic early work of Bill Finger, Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, Dick Sprang and others, these stories feature such milestones as the first appearance of long-time Bat-nemesis the Scarecrow and the last appearance of the rotund Alfred.
