Publication history

With a larger page count than typical comics of the time, most issues contained three separate stories, with Batman usually featuring in at least one of them, and others featuring Batman's friends and foes. The additional four issues of a quarterly title allowed DC to, along with the four existent monthly titles, publish a Batman comic every week of the year.[ citation needed ]
