Batman 1940 #293 - back issue - $14.00

Lex Luthor's claim to have killed the Batman is refuted by surprise witness Superman, who convinces the jury that Luthor did not kill Batman, as he thought.

Steve crosses wires on an electric Cooky La Moo poster, causing it to come alive and go berserk, but Wonder Woman and Steve calm it with her lasso and Hostess Twinkies.
