Batman #42 (1947)

In Batman #42 (1947), the Caped Crusader faces off against one of his most notorious foes, Catwoman. In "Claws of the Catwoman!", Catwoman escapes from jail and captures Batman, but the Dark Knight has a plan up his sleeve. Can Batman use Catwoman's pet kitty to help him escape? This story is paralleled in Detective Comics #318.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. In "Blind Man's Bluff!", also written by Bill Finger, Bruce Wayne becomes blind. Will a crook prove Batman is Bruce Wayne if he proves Batman is blind too?

And let's not forget about the other adventures in this issue, like the gag strips "Chief Hot Foot" by Henry Boltinoff and "Playful Pop" by Phil Berube. There's also a full-text story called "Death Stalk" by Bob Baker.

But the most action-packed story is "The Robot Robbers!" Doctor Hercules breaks "Jawbone" Bannon, Whitey Drebs, and "Four-Eyes" Foley out of prison and hooks them up to powerful robots. The robots are sent on a crime spree, but Batman and Robin are hot on their trail. Will they be able to stop the robot-controlled crooks before they strike again? Find out in this thrilling tale.
