"Two of the first comic book heroes of all time, Batman and Robin have endured and evolved for over 60 years. This extraordinary hardcover edition looks back at seventeen of their original tales to show the foundation of the Dark Knight's legendary mythos. Reprinting stories by Batman's creator Bob Kane, as well as a few adventures that have not been seen in over sixty years, this remarkable collection features the first appearance of the fear-inducing Scarecrow and the last appearance of the original, rotund Alfred."
