“Batman's Secret Helper”

In "Batman's Secret Helper," a desperate criminal named Jim Varrel fixates on a TV broadcast where Batman publicly thanks an anonymous citizen for aiding in his crime-fighting efforts—leading Varrel to obsessively search for the informant. Dick Sprang’s art, with Stan Kaye’s inks and Pat Gordon’s lettering, brings a classic 1950s tension to the tale, while Sheldon Moldoff’s cover captures the eerie focus of a man unraveling under suspicion.
