SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
Detective Comics #27 was published March 30, 1939 — 86 years ago!
So what could be more fitting than showing Batman in his birthday suit?
What — you were expecting something else? This isn’t Batman: Damned, for crying out loud!
“This was a black-and-white commission,” for Lee “the Batfan” Johnson, Kerry sez. “I decided to color it for fun. I love first-appearance Bat-Man!”
Who doesn’t?

Not at all what I was expecting. What I was expecting was a costume that somehow looked like a tux. I guess that would be his “society dinner” suit, not his birthday suit.
