“Death-Knell for a Traitor!”

In "Death-Knell for a Traitor!", Dick Grayson and Diane Lewis take a group of local kids on a tour of a supposedly haunted castle—only to find themselves plunged into a mystery when Diane and some of the children vanish. With the help of his Robin identity, Dick uncovers the hidden truth behind the castle's eerie legends, all drawn from the sharp storytelling of Elliot S! Maggin and the dynamic art of Irv Novick, with Frank McLaughlin’s inks adding depth to the shadows. The cover, a striking piece by Michael Wm. Kaluta, captures the eerie atmosphere perfectly.
