“The Dog That Betrayed Batman”

In "The Dog That Betrayed Batman," Batman investigates the murder of jeweler Claber, whose death is framed by his business partners to implicate the criminal Ted Greaves. With Dick Sprang’s crisp art and Bill Finger’s sharp scripting, this 1960 classic unfolds a web of deceit where loyalty is questioned and the truth lies buried beneath false alibis—while the cover by Sheldon Moldoff captures the mystery in bold, shadowed lines.
