Collecting Batman's greatest battles against Two-Face, from DETECTIVE COMICS #66, 68, 80, 187, BATMAN #81, 234, 527-528, 653 and BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE #1, plus Two-Face's origin story from COUNTDOWN #29!

The fifth volume in the BATMAN ARCHIVES series, this fabulous book reprints the early adventures of Batman and Robin from the 1940s as they encounter blackmailing mobsters, haunting apparitions, and historical heroes. In this beautiful tome, the Dynamic Duo must defeat an embezzler who has stolen Bruce Wayne's fortune, travel to London to help Scotland Yard solve a mystery, overcome the lethal insanity of the Joker, uncover the secret of the ghost that is haunting the Gotham Library, and work with Robin Hood in a tale of time travel and hypnosis.

Two of the first comic book heroes of all time, Batman and Robin have endured and evolved for over 60 years. This extraordinary hardcover edition looks back at seventeen of their original tales to show the foundation of the Dark Knight's legendary mythos. Reprinting stories by Batman's creator Bob Kane, as well as a few adventures that have not been seen in over sixty years, this remarkable collection features the first appearance of the fear-inducing Scarecrow and the last appearance of the original, rotund Alfred.

Batman and Robin are perhaps the most famous super-hero team in comics history. Relive some of the Dynamic Duo's classic first adventures in this 240 page hardcover, reprinting 16 adventures from WORLD'S FINEST #17-32, circa 1941-1948! Only one of these stories has been reprinted since its original release!
