Grade: GD 2.0
Edited by Julius Schwartz. Indicia publisher: National Periodical Publications.
Cover by Carmine Infantino with lettering by Gaspar Saladino.
“The Penguin's Nest-Egg!” (12 pages), written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Carmine Infantino and Sid Greene — the Penguin returns to Gotham with an arsenal of weapon-umbrellas, deploying his signature gimmick army against Batman and Robin in classic Silver Age villain fashion. Infantino's sleek linework captures both the dynamic action and the era's distinctive visual style, while Greene's inks provide the solid foundation that defined DC's house look during this period.
A solid Penguin showcase from the Schwartz era, when DC was hitting its Silver Age stride with established villain formulas that balanced gimmick crime with genuine threat.

We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it.
