Detective Comics #139 (1948)

Detective Comics #139 is a real treat for fans of classic crime stories. "THE CRIMES OF JADE" is the Batman story in this issue, and it's a real nail-biter. When a shipment of rare jade goes missing, Batman and Robin team up with a local detective to crack the case. But things aren't so simple when a gang of Jade smugglers show up to complicate matters. It's up to the Dynamic Duo to unravel the mystery and take down the criminals.

But that's not all! There's also a Robotman story called "A BID FOR ROBOTMAN," where our hero is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Will he end up in the wrong hands?

And don't miss the Slam Bradley story "SHORTY RIDES A WINNER," where our favorite detective tries his hand at horse racing. Plus, CAPTAIN TOOTSIE TRAPS KILLER BEAR WITH INVISIBLE LIGHT, a thrilling text story called OZZIE SECRET CODES, and a western tale featuring the ARIZONA RANGER.

Last but not least, the Boy Commandoes story "DR. Z, FUTURE CRIMINAL" will have you on the edge of your seat. This issue is a true gem, and it's a must-have for any serious comic book collector. Trust us, we know our stuff.
