“Crimes of the Kite-Man”

In "Crimes of the Kite-Man," Batman's public Bat-Cave exhibit on a ship becomes a trap for criminals when a stolen trophy—its hidden map fragment leading to buried loot—draws a wave of thieves. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated with crisp detail by Sheldon Moldoff, this 1960 classic blends playful showmanship with clever crime-solving, all under the watchful eye of Gotham’s Dark Knight. The cover, also by Moldoff, captures the moment of chaos with dynamic flair.
