“Untold Tales of the Bat-Signal!”

In "Untold Tales of the Bat-Signal!", news reporter Dave Purdy takes on a peculiar challenge: tracking down a case where the Bat-Signal alone was enough to save a life. A 1950 DC classic drawn by Bob Kane and Lew Sayre Schwartz, with inks by Charles Paris, this issue offers a rare, spotlight moment for Gotham’s most iconic beacon—seen here through the sharp, expressive lines of cover artists Win Mortimer and George Roussos.
