Batman: The Sunday Classics, 1943-46 #[nn]

In "The Penguin's Crime-Thunderstorms," Batman and Robin intercept the Penguin mid-heist at a post office—only to find he’s not after loot, but a birthday card from his aunt, Miranda, who thinks he’s a respectable umbrella tycoon. With Aunt Miranda en route to visit, the Dynamic Duo must help the Penguin maintain a façade of respectability, all while navigating his latest scheme. Written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Jack Burnley, with inks by Charles Paris, colors by Raymond Perry, and letters by Ira Schnapp, this 1991 Kitchen Sink Press collection spotlights a rare, heartfelt moment in the Caped Crusaders’ rogues’ gallery, with a cover by Pete Poplaski.
