Hello and welcome to the World of Bats, the Batman Book Club!
This week, to continue our look at the rogues featured in The Batman by checking out some 90s era stories featuring Oswald Cobblepott/The Penguin!
First we’ll be looking at the crossover storyline “The Penguin Affair,” written by Marv Wolfman and Alan Grant, with art by Jim Aparo, Norm Breyfogle, and M.D. Blight.
The Penguin takes in Harold, a mute and disfigured man with a gift for technology, and exploits his genius to steal anything and anyone he wants. With the help of his new apprentice, Tim Drake, will the Dark Knight be able to stop him?
