Description
What a great Win Mortimer Batman cover and two for the price of one!
Cover by Win Mortimer. Stories by unknown. Art by Bob Kane, Lew Sayre Schwartz, Charles Paris, Bruno Premiani, Frank Bolle and Dan Barry. With his Van Cleer alias lost to him, Killer Moth decides to steal the identity of Bruce Wayne (whom he imprisons in a vault), then hires a plastic surgeon to alter his face into an exact double of Wayne's, and fools Dick Grayson into believing he is Wayne and Dick doesn't realize at first. The Moth goes out as Batman, enhancing his criminal reputation by making it appear that Batman fears the Moth. Wayne escapes in time to see Killer Moth shot down by one of his own gang, thinking he's been double-crossed. Moth's face is wrecked by the bullets, and the resultant cranial injury causes amnesia in "Batman's Double!" with art by Bob Kane, Lew Sayre Schwartz and Charles Paris. Plus: Pow-Wow Smith, Indian Lawman in "Pow-Wow Smith -- Chief of Police!" with art by Bruno Premiani; Robotman in "The Terrible Toys of Dr. Morro!" with art by Frank Bolle; and Impossible -- But True! tale "The Man with the Golden Touch!" (featuring Roy Raymond) with art by Dan Barry. Also: Jerry the Jitterbug 1-pager by Henry Boltinoff; Quick Quiz activity page by H.T. Elmo; Jerry the Jitterbug 2-pager by Boltinoff; 2-page text piece "Murder Is a Fine Art" by R.E. Gurvitz; Varsity Vic half-pager by Boltinoff; and Casey the Cop 1-pager by Boltinoff. 48 pages, full color.
