In The War Years

This volume is of particular historical and artistic significance, since the circulation of newspapers was limited during World War II, hence the collected comics were not readily available to a vast national audience. The battles with the bad guys have the classic elements of criminals pulled from the front pages of newspapers and the story lines are brilliantly enhanced by some of the finest depictions ever of the characters. The comic strips are bolstered by additional background information on the real times that shaped the comic strips and life of the Gotham Knight. Much more of a detective than a super hero with super powers, these rare story lines are classic Bat-Man that receive the recognition they truly deserve.
