About this Collection

This collection brings together key stories featuring the Riddler from Batman's rogues gallery, spanning various eras of DC Comics. It includes classic tales that highlight Edward Nygma's obsessive need to prove his intellectual superiority through elaborate puzzles and crimes, showcasing his evolution from a gimmicky villain to a more sinister and psychologically complex adversary. The volume is part of DC's 'Batman Arkham' series, which focuses on individual members of Batman's iconic villains.

In "The Riddler," a 2015 DC one-shot written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Bob Kane with inks by Joe Giella, the enigmatic villain emerges from prison claiming redemption—only to challenge Batman and Robin with a trail of cryptic riddles leading to the Molehill Mob’s hideout. With a cover by Guillem March and Dick Sprang, this story blends classic detective tension with the Riddler’s signature mind games, leaving the Dynamic Duo questioning whether his reform is genuine or just another elaborate puzzle.
