In "Lest Night Fall Forever!", Gotham City faces a sweet crisis when the Penguin uses hypnosis to turn every Twinkie delivery man into his unwitting accomplice—leaving the city without its favorite snack. With the help of Robin, Batman tracks down the villain, only to find the Penguin willing to cooperate… for now. Written by E. Nelson Bridwell and brought to life by Curt Swan’s crisp art and Vince Colletta’s inks, this 1976 DC special features a delightfully absurd threat, all capped by Dick Giordano’s dynamic cover.
