    Bob Kane/Jerry Robinson cvr/art; 1st app. Clock Maker 
     
    The Batman cover formula is well in place by this issue: feature the Dynamic Duo in cheerful, barrel chested action poses with striking, often solid color backgrounds, slap that enormous logo on the top, and watch kids fight over the result. The brash action and pulpy adventure of the early Bat issues is plainly evident in this classic image. By this time, the formula had been well enough established that scribes Gardner Fox and Bill Finger, largely responsible for growing the Batman rogues' gallery through the Golden Age, were coming up with more and more ridiculous ideas for themed villains, such as this issue's Clock Maker. This bizarre baddie, obsessed with the loss of time and the intricacy of clockmaking, neatly fits into the series' themes of loss and mortality, even if the stories themselves were drifting away from pulp melodrama into pure action. There are still plenty of dark, moody moments in this fascinating attempt to create a new Joker/Luthor/etc

    Joker app.; Jerry Siegel & Joe DiMaggio cameo 
     
    This book's cover illustration, by co-creator Bob Kane, bears a classic WWII image of the Dynamic Duo parachuting into action, no doubt to do their patriotic duty for the boys overseas. The interior of the book contains three thrilling tales: "The Batman Plays a Lone Hand", in which Batman, surprisingly, fires Robin in order to go solo; "Comedy of Tears", a Joker story which includes "real world" cameos by Joe DiMaggio and Superman creator Jerry Seigel; and "The Story of the Seventeen Stones", which pits the Bat against Rocky Grimes, who does indeed employ seventeen forms of stone in the executions of his crimes.

    Santa Christmas cvr; Penguin app.
     
    With the Caped Crusaders' modern reputation as a grim and gritty pain machine, it's easy to forget just how big he was with kids and what a friendly figure of adventure he was through much of his early run. The annual tradition yoked to all Golden and early Silver Age comics, the Christmas Santa issue, led to some incongruous images in the Bat-books, like this one, which is simultaneously jarring to our modern sense of the character and yet incredibly charming and effective. You gotta love this stuff.

    Bob Kane/Jerry Robinson cvr/art; 1st app. Clock Maker 
     
    The Batman cover formula is well in place by this issue: feature the Dynamic Duo in cheerful, barrel chested action poses with striking, often solid color backgrounds, slap that enormous logo on the top, and watch kids fight over the result. The brash action and pulpy adventure of the early Bat issues is plainly evident in this classic image. By this time, the formula had been well enough established that scribes Gardner Fox and Bill Finger, largely responsible for growing the Batman rogues' gallery through the Golden Age, were coming up with more and more ridiculous ideas for themed villains, such as this issue's Clock Maker. This bizarre baddie, obsessed with the loss of time and the intricacy of clockmaking, neatly fits into the series' themes of loss and mortality, even if the stories themselves were drifting away from pulp melodrama into pure action. There are still plenty of dark, moody moments in this fascinating attempt to create a new Joker/Luthor/etc

    Joker app.; Jerry Siegel & Joe DiMaggio cameo 
     
    This book's cover illustration, by co-creator Bob Kane, bears a classic WWII image of the Dynamic Duo parachuting into action, no doubt to do their patriotic duty for the boys overseas. The interior of the book contains three thrilling tales: "The Batman Plays a Lone Hand", in which Batman, surprisingly, fires Robin in order to go solo; "Comedy of Tears", a Joker story which includes "real world" cameos by Joe DiMaggio and Superman creator Jerry Seigel; and "The Story of the Seventeen Stones", which pits the Bat against Rocky Grimes, who does indeed employ seventeen forms of stone in the executions of his crimes.

    With the Caped Crusaders' modern reputation as a grim and gritty pain machine, it's easy to forget just how big he was with kids and what a friendly figure of adventure he was through much of his early run. The annual tradition yoked to all Golden and early Silver Age comics, the Christmas Santa issue, led to some incongruous images in the Bat-books, like this one, which is simultaneously jarring to our modern sense of the character and yet incredibly charming and effective. You gotta love this stuff.
