When I was 12 years old, I discovered a coverless giant-sized Batman comic in one of the boxes of outdated comics sold for a nickel or dime (depending on size) at Andrews Tobacco Stand in my hometown of Calais, Maine. This particular comic was filled with reprinted tales originally published in the 1950s. Among the many tales was one containing a character called Batwoman. From the story, it was obvious this was not her first appearance. In fact, Batman and Robin treated her as part of their "team". Who was this woman? Why had I never heard of her before now? What happened to her?
I became obsessed with finding out all I could about this intriguing woman... clad in shadowed yellow and red, who at some point before I began reading comics, had been a regular partner of the caped crusader!
In this tour, I'll take a look at every comic book that featured the original Batwoman (Kathy Kane) on its cover. Along the way, I'll provide some narrative to provide some insight into her character and some of her adventures with Batman and Robin.
