The Dick Sprang challenge

Of Bob Kane’s various ghost artists, probably none was more defining than Dick Sprang, with his bold, clean-cut, upbeat, square-jawed, barrel-chested, Chester Gould-ish depiction of the Caped Crusader. But besides being  one of the most recognizable and stylish Batman artists of the Golden Age and Silver Age, Sprang later produced a number of luscious, hyper-detailed, Where’s Waldo-esque drawings paying homage to several classic adventures of the Dynamic Duo. Check out these three and see how many references you can spot…

(Needless to say, Chris Sims has a head start.)
