Detective Comics #30 contains one of the earliest appearances of Batman, in a tale which finds the Caped Crusader battling the fiendish Doctor Death — whom he first encountered in the previous issue, and had assumed was dead. "The Return of Doctor Death" is one of the gritty early Batman tales cherished by Golden Age collectors, with the Dark Knight thinking nothing of dispatching evildoers with fatal blows. The pulp roots of Detective are also reflected in this book's classic cover, featuring a violent criminal encounter while DC gets ever closer to bringing in Batman as the title's regular cover star.



Artists Information

Joseph Shuster was a Canadian-American comic book artist best known for co-creating the DC Comics character Superman, with writer Jerry Siegel, in Action Comics #1.

Moldoff is best known for his early work on DC's Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and was one of Bob Kane's primary "ghost artists" on Batman. He co-created the Batman villains Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, the second Clayface, and Bat-Mite, as well as the original heroes Bat-Girl, Batwoman, and Ace the Bat-Hound.

A celebrity comic artist of the Golden Age, co-created Batman and Robin with Bill Finger, as his brainchild became more in demand he hired an army of ghost artists to illustrate the dearth of Batman features on the market, but all were credited to Kane. His other achievements include the creation of Catwoman, Two-Face and cartoon character Courageous Cat. Kane was the object of some controversy for taking credit for the art and inspiration of others, but he was also undoubtedly an important figure in the history of comics. He published an updated version of his autobiography "Batman and Me: The Saga Continues" shortly before his death in 1998. He got his start at the Eisner/Iger studio and was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
