“The Eraser Who Tried to Rub Out Batman!”

In "The Eraser Who Tried to Rub Out Batman!", Batman is called to investigate a string of murders targeting men from a prestigious best-dressed list—only to find himself in deadly danger when his own name appears on the same list. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Sid Greene and letters by Joe Letterese, this 1966 thriller blends mystery and suspense in a story where the line between fame and fatal risk blurs. The cover by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella captures the tension with a striking, stylized image of the Dark Knight in peril.
