Batman Re-Presenting from the Golden Age of Comics-Complete and in Exact Chronological Order the Earliest Adventures of Batman from the Pages of Detective Comics Nos. 27-38 and Batman No. 1! For over fifty years he has been a part of the American mythos. He was a sensation from the moment of his first appearance, and today he has achieved an even more phenomenal level of popularity... His earliest stories reveal Batman as he was initially conceived: a mysterious, dark nemesis of crime, a no-nonsense vigilante driven by some inner demon to eliminate society's malefactors. Later, with the introduction of Robin, we are presented with the more human side of our protagonist. Not so fierce perhaps, but every bit as resolute. DC Comics is proud to present this definitive and affordable collection of Batman's adventures. Assembled here are his earliest adventures from Detective Comics, #27 through #38, and Batman #1 in its entirety, including all covers. For fans both old and new of The Dark Knight-or of popular culture in general-The Batman Chronicles will be an indispensable addition to their library.
