Batman Endures Multiple Gorilla Surprises

Detective Comics #31 (1939)

We go way back in time this week as we talk about DETECTIVE COMICS mere months after the debut of the Batman! It is classic Golden Age goodness as (the) Batman squares off against Mad Monk and his menagerie of mammals and reptiles.

Highlights include:

• The debut of the Batarang!
• Wilfred Brimley, medical professional
• Batman is hoarding the cure to rabies
• Multiple gorilla encounters
• Bruce Wayne loves his pipe
• What really happened to Bat-Horse

Also, Jen and Shawn talk about some new pick-ups from RetroMania this past weekend as well as their experience as comic book vendors at the event.
