Before the modern multiverse, Batman’s world exploded into giants, aliens, and alternate destinies. Guided by award-winning co-creator Bill Finger and iconic artist Sheldon Moldoff, this era fuses classic heroism with wild Silver Age concepts, capturing the moment the Caped Crusader embraced pure imagination.
The Dynamic Duo swing into more action in this second Silver Age omnibus containing the first appearance of the cold-hearted villain, Mr. Zero, who would later be known by a much more chilling nom de guerre: Mr. Freeze! Also debuting in this volume is the interdimensional fanboy Bat-Mite, whose attempts to help Batman only create more chaos!
Collects Batman #117-132 and Detective Comics #258-281 with additional Bat-tales from Adventure Comics #253 and Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #6.
This volume brings together the work of award-winning Batman co-creator Bill Finger (Batman, Detective Comics), alongside Silver Age stalwarts Jerry Coleman (Superman), Dave Wood (Detective Comics), Arnold Drake (Doom Patrol), and Jack Miller (House of Mystery). Their scripts balance clever plots, morality-play clarity, and boundless imagination that helped define the Silver Age tone for Gotham and the broader DC Universe.
Featuring art by Sheldon Moldoff (Batman), Curt Swan (Superman), Dick Sprang (World’s Finest Comics), Charles Paris (Detective Comics), Joe Certa (Detective Comics, Martian Manhunter), and Ruben Moreira (Roy Raymond TV Detective), this collection showcases some of DC’s most influential Silver Age visual storytellers. Their clean lines, expressive acting, and bold designs—building on work by award-recognized giants like Curt Swan—cemented the iconic look of Batman for generations.
