Publisher’s description
This issue contains the controversial bio of Bob Kane that incorrectly credits him for the solo creation of Batman, Robin, The Joker and much more of the Batman oeuvre. The article completely ignores the works of Jerry Robinson, Dick Sprang and especially Bill Finger, the writer of most of the early Batman and Robin stories during the 1940s and 1950s.
