Batman #309

In "Have Yourself a Deadly Little Christmas!", a holiday season takes a dark turn when a desperate Kathy Crawford, feeling lost and alone, considers ending her life—only for Batman to step in, facing not just her despair but the formidable Blockbuster, who stands in his way. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by John Calnan with inks by Frank McLaughlin and colors by Glynis Wein, this poignant 1979 tale blends emotional weight with action, all wrapped in Jim Aparo’s striking cover art.
