“It Happened in Rome”

In "It Happened in Rome," Batman takes a bold risk by letting the District Attorney investigate Bruce Wayne, using the ruse of financial impropriety to expose a shadowy criminal network that helps the wealthy vanish from justice. Written by Don C. Cameron and illustrated with sharp, dynamic precision by Dick Sprang—both interior and cover—this 1944 thriller blends noir intrigue with the Dark Knight’s relentless pursuit of truth.
