“The Secret of Mechanical City”

In "The Secret of Mechanical City," Batman takes on a baffling case when a circus animal trainer is framed for a robbery, with an ape as the only witness—literally. With Sheldon Moldoff’s dynamic art and Charles Paris’s crisp inks bringing the mystery to life, Batman teams up with the surprisingly clever primate to uncover the truth behind the mechanical city’s hidden secrets. The cover by Sheldon Moldoff captures the intrigue with a striking, shadowed image of the ape and the Dark Knight in silhouette.
