“Formula for Doom”

In "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.
