Batman #247

In "Merry Christmas," a stranded family seeking shelter on a snowy night knocks on the door of a remote house, only to find themselves trapped with a deranged criminal armed with nerve gas. Batman, who’s been tracking the villain through the countryside, arrives just as the threat escalates—his presence cutting through the chaos like a star breaking through the storm.

In "...And a Deadly New Year!", Batman closes in on the source of a dangerous nerve gas, narrowing his suspects to just three individuals. Using a clever trap, he sets a plan in motion that forces the culprit to expose themselves—though the true identity remains shrouded in mystery.
