Batman #316

In "Color Me Deadly!", Batman faces a mystery that turns deadly when a series of vibrant, seemingly random crimes point to a criminal with a shocking connection to color and perception. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by Frank McLaughlin and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1979 issue blends psychological tension with the era’s signature flair, all rendered with a sharp eye for detail. The cover, by Dick Giordano, captures the issue’s bold, surreal tone.
