Batman 1940 #156 - low grade - $79.99

After Batman announces that he is going away on a secret Government mission, a pint-sized crime fighter by the name of Ant-Man pops up to help him out, but the Boy Wonder wrongly guesses that it is Batman in disguise.

Batman undergoes a test simulation for a situation that astronauts may one day face alone in outer space, and during that simulation he sees Robin die. After the test is over, Batman faces the terrible side-effects of his simulation, believing that Robin will actually die, and it so complicates his fight against crime, he decides to retire!
