Batman #2

In "The Joker Meets the Cat-Woman," Batman and Robin confront a mysterious threat tied to a strange African "missing link" brought to Gotham by Professor Drake. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Bob Kane, with inks by Jerry Robinson and George Roussos, this 1940 classic blends early superhero mystery with a chilling twist on civilization and savagery. The cover by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson captures the eerie tension of the tale, all in a 10-cent comic that remains a cornerstone of the Dark Knight’s origin.
