Batman #152
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Formula for Doom," Batman faces a chilling mystery when a mysterious formula begins turning Gotham’s streets into deadly traps. Written by Jack Schiff and illustrated with sharp precision by Sheldon Moldoff—whose inks and lettering by Ira Schnapp bring the noir atmosphere to life—this 1962 classic sees the Dark Knight unravel a sinister plot hidden in plain sight. The cover, also by Moldoff, captures the tension with a stark, shadowed image of Batman confronting an unknown threat.
In "Formula for Doom," Batman and Robin race across the Swiss Alps with Bat-Hound on the trail of a rogue scientist smuggling a dangerous explosive formula to a European criminal. With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, the Caped Crusaders must stop the transfer before it’s too late.
In "Memorial to an Astronaut," Batman honors the final wish of a dying mineralogist by orchestrating a heartfelt deception—a fake space mission using a movie set and a convincing illusion—giving the man a final, unforgettable journey among the stars. Written with quiet empathy and drawn with period-accurate flair, the story captures a rare moment of tenderness in the Dark Knight’s world.
