A cornerstone era of superhero history returns in a definitive, archival omnibus—showcasing the stories, creators, and visual language that further shaped Batman’s Golden Age identity.

Groundbreaking Golden Age classic stories—which cemented Batman’s place as the medium’s most popular hero—are gathered for the first time in this singular, expansive hardcover collection with a foreword by comics historian Michael Eury.

As World War II comes to an end, Batman and Robin continue to fight crime on the streets of Gotham City and beyond. In these thrilling adventures, the Dynamic Duo battle old foes like the Penguin, the Cavalier, and The Joker, while also meeting such classic characters as the Three Musketeers, Professor Moriarty and Santa Claus. All this, plus Alfred starts an amateur detective agency and Catwoman debuts an all-new costume.

Written by foundational creators including Bill Finger and illustrated by Golden Age greats such as Dick Sprang and Jerry Robinson, these tales balance lighthearted adventure with moments that reveal the humanity beneath the masks.

Collects Detective Comics #93–112, Batman #26–35, and stories from World’s Finest Comics #15–22.
Featuring foundational contributions from Bill Finger (Batman, Detective Comics, World’s Finest Comics), Joe Samachson (World’s Finest Comics, Detective Comics, Batman), Don Cameron (Batman, Superboy, Detective Comics), Alvin Schwartz (Batman, Superman, Batman & Robin), Joe Greene (Batman, Green Lantern, Detective Comics), and Mort Weisinger (Superman, Action Comics, Adventure Comics)—pioneering DC storytellers whose work shaped the earliest mythology of Batman, Robin, and the superhero genre itself.
