In "The Goblin of Gotham City!", Vicki Vale sets out to write a powerful piece on the Batman’s impact—highlighting three men whose lives were saved by the Dark Knight. But when a mysterious new criminal, twisted like a modern Jekyll and Hyde, emerges with a deadly obsession, her story threatens to unravel before it even begins. Bob Kane’s art and Charles Paris’s inks bring the shadowy streets of Gotham to life, while Jim Mooney’s cover captures the chilling duality of the menace.
