Art by Tom Lovell. Commemorating the 75th anniversary of Batman's 1939 debut, Sanctum Books collects the groundbreaking pulp novels that inspired the Caped Crusader's Golden Age in a 528-page multipack, with a new foreword by legendary Batman scripter Dennis O'Neil, exclusive new bonus art prints and brand-new The Shadow Annual #1. This instant collector's item leads off with "Partners of Peril," the legendary 1936 thriller that was adapted as the debut Batman story in Detective Comics #27, and "Lingo" which introduced The Shadow's yellow boomerang, the forerunner of the Bat-a-rang!
