Batman #1

In "La mixture mortelle," Batman is drawn into a high-stakes chase when Ras Al Ghul demands he track down Striss, a thief who’s stolen a dangerous chemical formula. With no knowledge of its deadly properties, Striss becomes an unwitting pawn in a game where one wrong move could mean disaster. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by Dick Giordano, this 1972 issue features a tense, mystery-driven plot that sets the stage for a deadly race against time. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Irv Novick and Frank Robbins with inks by Dick Giordano and Frank Robbins, captures the urgency of the moment.
