Batman #10 features the first appearance of Catwoman under the name that would make her a DC legend, as the villainess made her official fourth appearance after earlier appearances as The Cat and some variant names from indecisive editors. "The Princess of Plunder" also continues to feature the high-society burglar in her early role as a Mistress of Disguise, with Robin taking note as Batman once again allows Catwoman to escape while saving her from her own unsavory henchmen.

This issue also features the classic tale of “The Isle That Time Forgot," which also sort of addresses the classic meta cover by Jerry Robinson and Fred Ray. The strange saga begins with the Caped Crusaders travel back in time while investigating a mysterious island, where they come across all manner of challenges, from boa constrictors to saber-toothed tigers, crazed tribesmen, and even dinosaurs. After defeating this posse of prehistoric perils, Batman and Robin come to discover the entire event was a scam, a ruse to get them to appear in an action movie starring themselves. The duo takes the joke rather well and eagerly await tickets to view their adventure. This is a fun and classic Batman issue, aimed squarely at attracting a younger readership, and the plan worked like a charm, increasing Bat-sales as a result.
_______________________________________________

This 9.2 Batman #10 is an instant Golden Age collectible for Jerry Robinson’s playful and memorable cover, and also ranks at the top of the very few high-grade issues on the CGC Census! In fact, this amazing copy boasts very few flaws with its solid construction and strong colors. Add in the sparkling white interior pages, and you're looking at the rare collectible that offers all the original impact of when it hit the newsstands of 1942! Batman has just marked 85 years of being one of the world's most beloved heroes, and Catwoman has spent nearly as much time as one of the most popular characters in the Batman universe. She's set to remain in the spotlight, as well, with Zoe Kravitz confirmed to return as Catwoman in the upcoming The Batman: Part Two — which is just one of at least five Batman series and features currently in development.
