Most of the way through the volume.
Some of the Kanigher stories surprise me for how relatively violent they are for a mid-60s superhero book. A triple murder in one and the Death Man shooting people on panel. And a suitably final end for the Death Man. I also noticed that Kanigher played up the ladies man angle for Bruce Wayne a whole lot more than others.
With Kanigher and Kubert doing some work, does anybody know if there was something going on in editorial over in the war books department at this time?
By my count, there's one story in the collection that was adapted relatively faithfully to the tv series. The Eivol Ekdal story.
The Cluemaster story is interesting for the visual clues he leaves. Infantino deserves extra credit for that. It's also interesting that the whole leaving clues thing is really nothing more than a scam for additional encounters with Batman instead of an actual compulsion. Like The Getaway Genius, it's a crook trying to subvert the usual rules of the genre.
