In "Rackety-Rax Racket!", Alfred Pennyworth takes on an unexpected task—walking a lady’s dog—only to stumble into a mystery involving giant turtles. Written by Don C. Cameron and Joe Samachson, with art by Jerry Robinson and lettering by Ira Schnapp, this 1945 Batman tale sees the usually unflappable butler put his sharp mind to the test. The cover, by Dick Sprang, captures the absurdity and intrigue of the case in bold, classic style.
