Manic Monday Triple Overtime--Who Brings A Sword To A Fistfight?!?

Batman has tracked down foreign agent/saboteur Count Grutt!

Now, I could have cracked this case in one panel, because the spy's name (Turg) is just Grutt's spelled backwards. Seriously, the most important life-tip I've learned from movies and comics is: When you meet someone new, ALWAYS spell their name backwards in your head. The life you save might be your own.

Anyway, Batman has the Count cornered and weaponless--or does he?









Very queer indeed, Batman. Maybe you should be a little more careful when you punch people across the room...?

From Detective Comics #37 (1940)

Fun fact: this was the last solo Batman story published in Detective Comics before Robin debuted.

It was reprinted as a back-up feature in Batman #237 in the early 1970s.
