“Chapter 1: Prisoners of Three Worlds”

In "Chapter 1: Prisoners of Three Worlds," Batman faces a bizarre quartet of criminals whose schemes are tied not by motive, but by a strange, recurring pattern of misfortune and repetition. Written, drawn, and inked by Henry Boltinoff, this 1963 issue presents a series of darkly comedic, self-contained crime vignettes, each more absurd than the last. The cover by Sheldon Moldoff captures the story’s offbeat tone with a striking, stylized image of Gotham’s shadowed streets.
