Bat-cyclopedia: "In June 1949 Batman and Robin match wits with PROFESSOR ZERO.... an evil scientist who reduces several prominent citizens to about nine inches in height with his 'invisible black light' reducing ray so that he can extort large sums of money from them in return for restoring them to normal. BATMAN and ROBIN'S efforts to apprehend Professor Zero are severely hampered by the fact that they too have been shrunk by the diabolical ray, but the villain accidentally shoots himself with a shotgun while attempting to kill them and the ray's effects wear off after only three days." — Michael L. Fleisher, The Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes Vol. 1: Batman. Macmillan: 1976, pp. 121, 386. The DC UNIVERSE COLLECTION comprises over 40,000 comic books, including a copy of every single DC comic published for retail sale from 1934 to 2014. The collection was amassed by British music producer Ian Levine over the course of several decades, and it's been hailed as the single greatest collecting accomplishment in comic book history. This collection served as the basis for former DC Comics president Paul Levitz's monumental book 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking, published by Taschen in 2017. PBA is proud to present this epic collection in a series of themed sales over the next two years. To join the DC Universe Collection notifications list, contact pba@pbagalleries.com.
