Jerry Robinson cover & art; 2nd Penguin coverOne of the classic design tropes of the Golden Age and beyond, is what is known as the “sneak peek” cover, which is employed quite liberally on this wrap to Batman #14. The special exception on this cover is the interaction between the two realities, as the Penguin sends a trail of smoke wafting upwards towards Batman and Robin as they spy in on him, a cute little twist that was perfectly in line with the playful and simplistic Batman covers of the era. The main attraction for fans of this issue is the second-ever cover appearance of the Penguin, one of the mainstay villains of Batman’s stable who would remain atop the twisted list of enemies the Dynamic Duo would accrue over the decades. Jerry Robinson’s illustration is a lot of fun, oddly enough, the Penguin story in this comic appears at the end of the issue, making the cover a bit of a deception.
