Detective Comics #161

In "The Men Who Died on Time!", Batman confronts a mysterious criminal who terrorizes theatrical producers with chilling predictions of death at midnight—only to vanish without a trace. With the Dark Knight himself seemingly felled at the stroke of midnight, a single clue emerges from the chaos. Penciled by Bob Kane and Lew Sayre Schwartz, with inks by Charles Paris, this 1950 thriller delivers classic noir suspense. The cover, by Win Mortimer, captures the eerie tension with a dramatic, shadowed Gotham skyline.
