In "El Hercúleo asaltante," a 1976 issue of Batman, the Elongated Man and his wife Sue set off for a peaceful day of fishing at Lake Cherokee—only to discover the lake is dry. What begins as a quiet outing turns strange when they spot a mysterious fisherman using a magnet in the mud, retrieving a key that sets off a chain of events. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Carmine Infantino, this issue features a clever mystery that unfolds through a series of unexpected twists, all anchored by the Elongated Man’s wits and elasticity. The cover, by Joe Kubert, captures the enigmatic tone of the story with a striking image of the fisherman in shadow.
