Batman #53

In "A Hairpin, a Hoe, a Hacksaw, a Hole in the Ground!", the Joker takes a bizarre turn, staging a string of thefts that seem utterly nonsensical—stealing items like hairpins, hoes, and hacksaws—while Batman and Robin scramble to find the logic behind the chaos. Bob Kane, Lew Sayre Schwartz, and Charles Paris bring the early days of Gotham’s most unpredictable villain to life, with Jim Mooney and Ray Burnley’s cover capturing the absurd flair of the crime spree.
