“Money Can't Buy Happiness”

In "Money Can't Buy Happiness," Batman steps in when Bruce Wayne’s lawyer and wife throw their children’s lives into chaos, uncovering a web of crime tied to Midas’ daughter and her new husband—whose connections to jewel thieves put the family fortune in danger. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life by Bob Kane’s iconic art, with inks by Jerry Robinson and George Roussos, this 1941 classic blends early Gotham intrigue with a touch of domestic drama, all wrapped in a cover by Kane and Robinson.
