    Another Good Pre-Code Bat-Man story 0

    Batman stories from the 1930s hold up remarkably well largely because he was, then, as now, a crime-and-justice hero that worked for order outside the law - using his wits, skills, threats and even deadly force. In this issue's tale, there's been a $100,000 jewel heist (about $1.5 Million in 2011 dollars) and police have no leads.

Got to give some points to the Slam Bradley chapter.......
