A friend on another forum posted these for me.
They are from Detective Comics #198 August 1953.

A friend in England found them somewhere and posted them for me.
Now I want to track down a copy of that issue for my collection.

By the way, Wayne is meant to have Scottish heritage and, not to stir up the Templars again, the Templars have condemned the comic where Batman confronts them in Rosslyn Chapel. http://www.parascope.com/articles/slips/fs29_1.htm |
