Batman: The Golden Age #6
In "Quarterback of Crime!", a vengeful former Sheik from Baghdad arrives in Gotham City, hunting the man he believes to be the true Sheik—now living in hiding as a cab driver. When the real Sheik is injured and hospitalized, Batman steps in, donning the disguise to keep the man safe, only to be captured by the cunning Omar El Kobra, who mistakes Bruce Wayne for his target. Written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Jack Burnley with inks by Jerry Robinson, this tale blends espionage and identity with a classic noir flair, all rendered in a striking cover by Nick Derington.
