About this Collection

This massive black-and-white volume collects early Silver Age appearances of Dick Grayson as Robin, the Boy Wonder, drawn from the pages of Star-Spangled Comics, Batman, Detective Comics, and World's Finest Comics. Spanning the 1940s through the 1960s, it showcases solo Robin adventures alongside team-ups with Batman and Superman, highlighting the character's evolution from sidekick to headliner. The collection also includes the first appearance of Bat-Mite and classic encounters with the Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face.

In Showcase Presents: Robin the Boy Wonder #1 (2008), a cosmic mishap sends a stranded alien and his symbiotic pet hurtling through the dimensional barrier between Earth-1 and Earth-2, setting off a chain reaction that threatens both worlds. With the Justice Society and Justice League racing to prevent a multiversal collapse, the fate of two realities rests on reuniting the lost pair. Written by Mike Friedrich and illustrated by Dick Dillin, with inks by Joe Giella and letters by John Costanza, the issue features a striking cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson.
