“The Scarecrow's Trail of Fear!”

In "The Scarecrow's Trail of Fear!", Batman confronts a bizarre criminal who weaponizes absurd local laws to spread chaos—turning quirky ordinances from places like Vancouver, Traverse City, and Triadelphia into deadly traps. Written, drawn, and inked by Henry Boltinoff, this 1975 classic blends noir mystery with offbeat humor, all capped by Ernie Chan’s striking cover.
