Detective Comics #172

In "The Outlaw Who Had Nine Lives!", Batman and Robin face a mysterious criminal who claims he can't die—each time escaping what should be a fatal end, leaving the Dynamic Duo to unravel a mystery that defies logic. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Dick Sprang and Charles Paris, this 1951 classic showcases the enduring tension between justice and the seemingly impossible. The cover, by Win Mortimer, captures the eerie flair of a man who refuses to stay dead.
