In "The Mystery of the 49th Star," Batman, Robin, and Kathy find themselves at a party turned crime scene when a shadowy thief strikes without warning. With Sheldon Moldoff’s crisp art and Bill Finger’s sharp storytelling, the night takes a twist when Kathy’s suspicions fall on the host, Ted Carson—though the truth behind the masked intruder is far more unexpected. Curt Swan’s cover captures the intrigue, while Stan Starkman’s lettering ties it all together in this 1959 classic.
