District Attorney Tony Quinn had everything to live for. Until a craven criminal destroyed him with a splash of acid across the face. Scarred, blinded, Quinn was forced to retire, a shattered man. But when a medical miracle restored his sight, he decided to resume his crime-fighting career in a strange new way. Still pretending to be sightless, he was inspired by a night-flying creature to become...the Black Bat! Garbed in a sinister cloak and mask, the Black Bat hunts down the crime lord who scarred him in the riveting tale called Brand of the Black Bat. Operating by night, able to see in pitch darkness, and possessing the will and determination to gun down criminals with his matched .45s, the Black Bat's winged shadow falls upon an Underworld that soon comes to dread his very name! Adapted from the July 1939 story, appearing in Black Book Detective magazine.
