[edit] Quarterly

With a larger page count than typical comics of the time, most issues contained 3 separate stories, with Batman usually featuring in at least one of these. Other stories featured Batman's friends and foes. The additional 4 issues of a quarterly title allowed DC to, along with the 4 existent monthly titles, publish a Batman comic every week of the year.
