Jerry Robinson CC '43 (?) is a former Columbia student best known for his work in Batman comics in the 1940s and 50s. He was recruited in 1941 (?) by Bob Kane when Kane spotted him on a Columbia tennis court wearing a warm-up jacket decorated by Robinson's own cartoons. Robinson was offered a job on the spot.[1]
Robinson became one of the most influential comic artists in Batman history. To give you an idea, he drew the first covers to feature Two-Face, Scarecrow, and Catwoman. He also claims to have come up with the first drawing of the Joker.[2]
