“Operation: Blindfold!”

In "Operation: Blindfold!", the Schemer orchestrates a twisted scheme that leaves Commissioner Gordon convinced the blind man he killed is the real Batman—leading to a shocking arrest when the actual Dark Knight arrives on the scene. Written by Frank Robbins and brought to life by Irv Novick’s dynamic art and Joe Giella’s sharp inks, this 1968 classic delivers a tense, clever mystery that turns identity and perception inside out. The cover by Irv Novick and Mike Esposito captures the issue’s suspense with a striking, shadowed portrait of Batman under duress.
