Batman #89

In "River Rogues," Batman and Robin are sent back to the 19th century by Carter Nichols to uncover the truth behind a scandal that tarnishes Commissioner Gordon’s family name—specifically, the claim that his great-grandfather was a notorious river bandit. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Dick Sprang, with inks by Charles Paris and lettering by Pat Gordon, this classic 1955 adventure blends historical intrigue with the duo’s signature detective work. The cover, by Win Mortimer, captures the mood of the era with its period-accurate visuals.
