Fred Ray/Jerry Robinson infinity cvr; Joker app.; 1st app Professor RadiumInfinity cover collectors are entranced by the fourth-wall-breaking surrealism of this niche genre, with a comic's central characters enjoying their own exploits in full view of the reader -- this mindbending trick has led to some of the most classic covers in comics history, and this sterling Fred Ray entry is a fine example. Gregarious and solid, early Batman and Robin issues were always graced with boyish covers with sparkling charm.
