Batman #220

A telephone booth becomes a deathtrap on Neal Adams and Carmine Infantino's striking cover for this March 1970 issue, where Batman is caught inside a ringing phone booth moments before it explodes — his anguished close-up reaction filling the right panel as a disembodied voice taunts, "I trapped you, Batman! This booth will self-destruct in one second!" The bold split-panel design perfectly sets the stage for the story teased by the tagline, "This Murder Has Been Pre-Recorded!" Inside, Frank Robbins writes and Irv Novick pencils, with inks by Dick Giordano — a solid creative team delivering classic Dark Knight suspense at its Silver Age best.
