Source of this classic Batman panel

[WikkidPerson]

Hi. I'm trying to track down the source of this panel from what looks like perhaps 40s or 50s Batman.

I'm told this panel is genuine and not something Photoshopped, so I'm trying to find a scan of the rest of the page, or otherwise read the story, in which, apparently, Batman escapes seemingly certain death, despite having his hands tied. Can anyone help?

Tread careful. Please mind our "G" rating. Just a friendly reminder since you're new.

That was actually discussed years ago on the old board:

perhaps one of those folks from the previous thread can tell you what issue that appeared in.

Thanks. My contention is that this is a panel from the (very "G" rated) original works. I have no interest in a discussion of anything but where the panel's from. I'd like to collect it.

I see one user on the old board (hobbybuilder01) claiming to have the original story. I'm new, so I don't have the privileges to message him at this point. Even knowing what issue it was in would enable me to read it digitally. My interest is as a fan of Batman, and not for any weird stuff.

Stories like this one are from such an innocent time. So much has changed. Makes us laugh to see isolated panels on the Internet, out of context, the connotations of which would make Frederic Wertham write books. But it's fun to just read what the story was, knowing that no one had any such thought in mind. Language has changed. Cool to see it before so much of it had been hijacked to mean something about either sex or drugs.

–Batman #83, Part 1
After completing an undisclosed weeklong out-of-town mission, Batman returns to Gotham, but crashes the Batplane en route. Trapped inside the wreckage of the plane, Batman tries radioing for help, but only the crook Fish Frye hears his call. With Batman out of the picture, Frye starts an unstoppable crime wave in Gotham. To ensure that nobody goes looking for Batman, Frye hires Bruce Wayne lookalike Harry Larson to play a fake Dark Knight. While out and about, Larson swings down from a rooftop and hits his head, which causes him to forget who he is. Robin and Alfred collect Larson and think he is actually the real Batman, but with amnesia due to injury. Robin convinces Larson that he is Batman and together they go after a confused and enraged Frye. Later, sensing something is amiss, Robin checks Larson’s teethmarks against Bruce’s. We get the amazing line, “Gosh Batman—Remember this leather thong? It still has your teethmarks in it!” Sure enough the teethmarks don’t match. Before the Boy Wonder can confront the impostor, fake Batman takes off to go after Frye. Frye and his goons capture Larson and strap him to a giant searchlight. The real Batman returns in time to bust Frye, but too late to save Larson, who gets burned alive.

Thanks so much! I downloaded it and can read it and some other issues from around that era, now.

Supervillain Fish FRYE!? LOL! That sounds more like a Dick Tracy villain rather than one of Batman's foes.
