“A Sweet Kiss of Poison...”

In "A Sweet Kiss of Poison...", Poison Ivy strikes from the shadows, using a hypnotic drug to manipulate key figures at the Wayne Foundation—including Bruce Wayne—into handing over its assets. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Irv Novick and Steve Mitchell, this 1981 Batman tale sees the Dark Knight unravel a sinister scheme beneath the city's philanthropic surface. The cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano captures the seductive danger of the moment, a 50-cent comic in 1981 that’s still a standout in the series’ long legacy.
