In celebration of the 4th of July we present Batman #18. Why you may ask did we pick Batman #18? Simple because the cover mentions the 4th of July and it shows a large firecracker taking out Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito.
Released in 1943 the cover also promotes war bonds and stamps. As we mentioned in previous post involving comic history, comic books played a large part in the push to sell war bonds to help pay for World War II.
About Batman #18, cover price was .10, issue is 60 pages long and includes 4 stories.
