Written by Marv Wolfman and Steve Skeates, with dynamic art by Mike Sekowsky and inks by Bob Oksner, this 1972 tale explores the limits of courage and identity. The cover by Bob Oksner captures the eerie tension of the moment, a 20-cent comic that remains a standout in the character’s early post-Crisis era.
