Characters of Zagor's World
Bat Batterton
A STRANGE POLICEMAN
Appearing for the first time in the famous "Egyptian" adventure of numbers 21 and 22, Bat Batterton is one of the great "characteristics" of the Zagor saga, a friend who is always a pleasure to meet again. Dressed like Sherlock Holmes, Bat unfortunately does not have the same detective acumen as his illustrious "colleague": he is the classic bungling detective, very skilled at always being found when he is hiding, and endowed with a "courage let's run" comparable only to that of Chico. Who, perhaps fearing that Bat will win all the readers' laughter, chases him away with pistol shots. A few pages in all, but enough for the strange policeman to secure a return ticket that hasn't yet expired.
