Batman - Lepakkomies #7/1967
In "Batman ja kävelevä pommi," a desperate scientist's experiment goes awry when his mind-altering ray accidentally transfers intelligence to a gorilla, turning it into a criminal mastermind. With the gorilla now wielding Batman’s own abilities and threatening to detonate a deadly bomb, the Dark Knight must outthink a foe that’s not only strong but eerily familiar. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art and Joe Giella’s sharp inks, this 1967 Finnish edition offers a uniquely bizarre twist on Batman’s rogues’ gallery, with a cover by Infantino and Giella that captures the tension perfectly.
