Batman - Lepakkomies #11/1968
"Pako kuolemaan" delivers a rare slice of 1968 Finnish comic culture, wrapped in a full-page advertisement for Artus fountain pens—complete with sleek illustrations and a pitch for neat handwriting, academic success, and stylish writing tools. The ad, styled with period-accurate flair, highlights Artus and Lamy models at specific prices, all rendered in a distinctive visual tone that stands out in the issue’s otherwise standard Batman material. Cover by Irv Novick, whose dynamic inks bring the promotional artwork to life.
In "Pako kuolemaan," a series of eerie psychic robberies stumps the Caped Crusaders—objects vanishing and reappearing as if moved by sheer will—while Alfred remains eerily calm, hinting he knows more than he lets on.
In "Paholaisenkelit hyökkäävät," Robin, en route to deliver a speech for the Junior Class presidency, intercepts a motorcycle gang led by an expelled student. His quick action stops the trouble, but the interruption costs him his chance to run for class president—just as the Bat-family’s next mission begins.
