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.
