Hello!

In my youth I used to have a big thick comic book of old batman comic strips. I am trying to find another copy but have no idea where to start looking.
I can remember various stories from the comic, most were (i would guess from the 1960s or 70s).

the plots I remember were:

Alfred being a detective novel fan in England who works out the real identity of Batman and travels to work for him.

Batman, Robin, and possibly Batgirl and bat woman, going back in time and meeting caveman versions of batman and robin. maybe there were some flying reptiles/dragons they rode on? They had low tech versions of the batman gadgets and lived in the bat cave in the past or something.

I thinkt here were some ManBat strips too. And maybe bat-Mite was featured.

Anyone help with what original comic they were from and what age they were?
I recall there were different styles in the comic, some darker more serious than others.
Its very annoying that i probably sold this for 50p 20 years ago.

The book you are describing sounds like Batman: from the 30's through the 70's

The stories you are talking about are all reprinted in that one.
