Penciled by Carmine Infantino

Iconic imagery! Bat flying in through the window and the famous "criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot" are true winning panels imo. Congrats!

Yeah that 4th strip (2-1-91) is where it's at! The inspiration for Batman explained in just a few panels. 🦇

Origin retold! All done in a span of a week! I like that they frame up original art at Wayne Manor. If they were caught with monoprints, it would cause a stir within the high society types.

the origin of Batman begs to be told by as many artistic voices as we can handle, and here we have a 5 for 1 special! Having it told from Alfed's POV adds some dry humor to a serious origin tale told over a strong week of dailies! Early 1991, what a time.

Thanks Yo! These strips were on CAF for a long time before I got them. Sometimes it pays to be friends with fellow bat collectors!
