Christmas with the Super-Heroes #1
In "Wanted: Santa Claus -- Dead or Alive!", Batman teams up with Boomer Katz, a recently paroled robber, to protect a department store’s holiday receipts from a criminal gang—using nothing but a flickering Nativity star’s light and sheer determination. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with gritty precision by Frank Miller, Steve Mitchell, Glenn Whitmore, and Ben Oda, this 1988 holiday special blends noir edge with seasonal spirit. The cover by John Byrne captures the story’s tense, festive energy in bold, dynamic lines.
