"The Secret of Hunter's Inn!" script by Joe Samachson, pencils by Jerry Robinson (as Bob Kane), inks by Jerry Robinson (as Bob Kane); Batman and Robin, in their everyday identities as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson (accompanied by Alfred), are investigating Hunter's Inn, the scene of many robberies of wealthy patrons and run into the Tweed Brothers. One-page Private Pete story by Henry Boltinoff. "Robin Studies His Lessons!" script by Joe Samachson, pencils by Bob Kane, inks by Jerry Robinson; When Dick brings home a miserable report card, Bruce relegates the youngster to studying at home instead of gallivanting about as Robin, the Boy Wonder! One-page Chief Hot Foot story by Henry Boltinoff. "The Good Samaritan Cops," script by Bill Finger, pencils by Jack Burnley (as Bob Kane), inks by Jack Burnley (as Bob Kane) and Ray Burnley (backgrounds); In the first story of a series, Batman and Robin meet and work with different agencies within the realm of the Police Department: in this story, it's the Police Emergency Squad.

"The Crime Surgeon!" script by Bill Finger, pencils by Bob Kane, inks by Jerry Robinson; The Crime Surgeon, after successfully operating on and saving the life of the Warden at the prison he is incarcerated in, makes good his escape and re-opens his Crime Clinic: an agency that helps crooks to better carry out their crimes! There are myriad WWII covers that show Mussolini, Tojo, and Hitler getting their just desserts, and this is quite possibly one of the most cartoonish and tame of the bunch, in hopes of not turning off DC’s youthful readership, no doubt. Regardless of the intensity level, this is also one of the most iconic wartime covers from the publisher, making this a very popular Batman issue at auction. Most of the early Batmans in the Kentucky Collection exist in fewer than 250 copies on the census, making them all extremely rare books, which are all in grades that are in the upper echelon, and this book is no exception, bearing a few slight indications of the book’s decades of existence, this 8.0 copy is in stunning shape for its age, the bright colors and sturdy structure are evident on this awesome cover.
