“Cautivos en un extraño zoológico”

In "Cautivos en un extraño zoológico," a stolen idol head unleashes an ancient evil that emerges each full moon, turning the city into a living zoo of monstrous creatures. When Jones is seemingly killed by the first beast, Manhunter takes up the hunt, determined to track down the source before the next lunar cycle. Written by Jack Miller and illustrated by Joe Certa, with a cover by Sheldon Moldoff, this 1964 issue delivers a chilling blend of mystery and supernatural dread in a classic Batman tale.
