PICTURED: BATMAN 
#30 GD/VG £400 Great war cover by Dick Sprang with Batman presenting a soldier with ‘a new gun from the folks back home’ and Robin promoting the ‘7th War Loan.’ Four stories, the lead featuring the Penguin, plus Batman shows Robin Gotham by night, Ally Babel creates a mountain of headaches for Batman, plus there’s another Alfred short. Stories by Bill Finger and Don C Cameron; art on Batman stories by Dick Sprang; Alfred by Jerry Robinson. A decent copy with a strong cover image, a couple of creases across bottom right corner which faintly break colour. Printed arrival date below logo. More than moderate spine roll, but otherwise fairly minimal wear. Staples are secure and tight. Excellent pages are not too far away from white. 
#31 FA £95 SOLD Striking cover by Dick Sprang with an infinity bat emblem masthead. In their debut, the villains Punch & Judy involve Batman & Robin in a criminal carnival; an abandoned village in Florida vanishes, along with many a master criminal; someone forges burglar trademarks to incriminate the wrong criminals; plus another Alfred short. Stories by Bill Finger, Don C Cameron, Joe Samachson and Joseph Green. Cover by Dick Sprang and interiors by Jerry Robinson. A low grade copy with several pieces of tape holding the cover on inside and out; much of the right edge looks to have been eaten away (without damaging the image too much); the top edge is quite worn with a tear sealed by tape; moderate spine roll, decent staples and reasonable off-white pages.
