The Comics Rack

Comics, like motion pictures, believed in protecting their "stars" from injury through the use of doubles. The pay for comics, however, was even lower than the bottom basement b-movie production house, or even the early days of television. As a result, the doubles, more often than not, were not even remotely close to the body type of the stars they were doubling.

Here is an unfortunate example of a Batman double in a "crushing bubble of doom" sequence from Justice League of America #21 and Mike Sekowsky.
