Batman #103

In "The Broken Batman Trophies," Batman—ever the meticulous detective—finds himself in a rare predicament after a minor scrape during a TV appearance hints at a dangerous truth: his identity might be slipping. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Dick Sprang, with inks by Charles Paris and letters by Pat Gordon, this 1956 tale sees the Dark Knight scrambling to maintain his secret with a series of increasingly absurd missteps. The cover, by Sheldon Moldoff, captures the tension with a striking image of the Caped Crusader in a moment of uncharacteristic vulnerability.
