Batman #316
In "La guerra secreta del General Fantasma," a relentless salesman persists at a doorstep until an irate, towel-clad man finally answers—only to vanish into the night, leaving behind a mystery that pulls Batman into a shadowy conflict. The story unfolds with a quiet tension that belies the chaos to come, drawn with crisp precision by Carmine Infantino and inked with sharp detail by Joe Giella.
In "Viaja a Marte," a lone astronaut lands on Mars only to be met not by alien invaders or ancient civilizations, but by a cheerful Martian salesman eager to sell him a collection of novelty trinkets. The story unfolds with playful sci-fi charm, blending the absurd with the everyday in a single, whimsical page.
In this delightfully absurd 1966 one-pager from Batman #316, a relentless salesman keeps knocking on a doorstep until an increasingly furious man—dripping wet and wrapped only in a towel—finally answers. The humor lies in the escalating absurdity of the moment, perfectly captured in the stark, typeset presentation and the salesman’s unwavering persistence.
