“The Mystery of the Menacing Mask!”

In "The Mystery of the Menacing Mask!", Bobo takes on a daring disguise to catch the elusive Larry the Lynx, all in the name of science—his own words, not ours. Written by John Broome and brought to life with bold art by Carmine Infantino, this 1968 DC Special features a clever, self-narrated caper that blends mystery and humor in a way only early DC could pull off. The cover by Carmine Infantino captures the intrigue perfectly, a 25-cent peek into a quirky, unforgettable adventure.
