American Comics Update: The Midas Collection/Batmania: Joker/Penguin team-up in Batman #25 (1944)
*DC: The first of two landmark Golden Age Batmans from the Midas Collection this week. Beneath a dynamic Dick Sprang cover of Batman and Robin riding a motorcycle through a flaming hoop, the story of the first Joker/Penguin team-up awaits as told by Don C Cameron and Jack Burnley. There’s also a tale of two sheikhs (one good, one bad) on the loose in Gotham City, and and Alfred short drawn by Jerry Robinson, and a story where Batman and Robin are sent to investigate the theft of copper wire (some days you get the Joker etc…). This copy has a fresh cover image with strong colours against a black background. There is a jagged half-thumbnail size chip out of the bottom edge, and some signs of mild water damage in the corner areas. A 6 cm crease (faintly breaking colour) extends across the bottom right corner. Lower spine split of 2-3 cm. Mild spine wear and stress at staples areas, but they’re firmly attached there and at centrefolds. Near white pages.
