Description

American popular culture has produced few heroic figures as famous and enduring as that of the Batman. The dark, mysterious hero who debuted in 1939's Detective Comics #27 as the lone "Bat-man" quickly grew into the legend of the Caped Crusader. After his landmark debut and origin story the Dark Knight was given many seminal elements including his partner in crime-fighting Robin, the Boy Wonder, and such adversaries as the Joker, Hugo Strange and Catwoman.

Batman: The Golden Age Volume One collects all of the Dark Knight Detective's first-ever adventures from Detective Comics #27-45, Batman #1-3 and New York World's Fair Comics #2.

William Finger was born on February 8, 1914. He met cartoonist Bob Kane
at a party in 1938, and soon after they were collaborating on several
adventure strips. Within a year, Batman appeared. Finger's fondness for
pulp fiction and movies influenced his plots and writing style for comic
books. He worked on many other DC characters and titles, scripted some
of the 1940s daily and Sunday Batman and Robin newspaper strip
continuities, and wrote for Quality, Fawcett and Timely.

Finger's television credits include 77 Sunset Strip, The Roaring Twenties and Hawaiian Eye during
the late 1950s and early 1960s. His efforts in the super-hero genre
also appeared on TV in the 1960s, including material for the animated New Adventures of Superman plus a two-part Clock King episode of the 1966 Batman series. Finger died in New York City on January 24, 1974. He was
posthumously inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame in 1999.

Robert
Kahn was born on October 24, 1916 in the Bronx and at age 18 legally
changed his name to Kane. In 1936, this self-proclaimed "compulsive
doodleholic" pencilled and inked his first comic book work, Hiram Hick. By 1938 he was selling humorous filler stories to DC Comics, including Professor Doolittle and Ginger Snap.
Kane met writer Bill Finger at a party in 1938, and they soon were
collaborating on comic book submissions. Their most famous effort,
Batman, first appeared in DETECTIVE COMICS #27 (May 1939). As Batman's
popularity demanded additional output, Kane kept up the pace by adding
assistants and dropping non-Batman assignments. He discontinued his
comic book efforts in mid-1943 to pencil the daily Batman and Robin newspaper strip. After the strip's 1946 demise, Kane returned to
illustrating Batman's comic book adventures and, with the help of
several ghosts, remained involved with comics until his retirement in
1968.

The success of the Batman television series
brought Kane and his art back into the public eye in 1966. He was
subsequently featured in various one-man art shows at galleries and
museums nationwide and released a number of limited-edition lithographs.
He served as a consultant on the 1989 Batman feature film and its sequels. His autobiography, Batman and Me, was published in 1989, and in 1996 he was inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame. Kane died on November 3, 1998.
