Batman: The Golden Age Omnibus #5

In "Crime on the Half-Shell!", the Penguin turns his latest scheme into a high-stakes game of signatures and deception, opening a restaurant where guests hand-write their orders and sign them—only to find themselves unwitting accomplices in a web of forgery. With Alvin Schwartz’s clever scripting and Bob Kane’s definitive art, this classic tale reveals how the Caped Crusader outsmarts the villain’s bizarre plan, using the very signatures he collected to track down a hidden network of fraud. The story’s sharp wit and inventive plotting shine, all rendered in the unmistakable style of the Golden Age, with Evan "Doc" Shaner’s dynamic cover capturing the eccentric flair of the Penguin’s scheme.
