*DC: From the Bute Collection this week, another gem of Golden Age Batmania. Beneath a seasonal cover by Jerry Robinson, three superb Dick Sprang illustrated stories await. The first features the villain the Cavalier, the second has the tale of Bruce Wayne’s descendant in the year 3000, and the final story features Batman & Robin adventures among the Indians on a lost mesa. In between there’s also an Alfred solo on a case of his own by Jerry Robinson. This is a reasonable copy. There’s a faint bookshop stamp on the moon in the cover background, some wear and tear along the spine and right edge; nothing too bad except the bottom right corner is significantly creased with a small chip out at bottom edge. Staples appear okay except the centrefold is loose and tape has been skilfully applied inside the spine. Pages are okay, with margins a little dingy here and there, as is the snow scene at the edges of the front cover. But not too bad for an 80 year old!
