Detective Comics #179

In "Mayor Bruce Wayne!", Bruce Wayne finds himself caught between two identities—balancing the pressures of his new role as temporary Mayor of Gotham City while a cunning racketeer, Deuce Chalmers, begins to suspect the truth behind his alter ego. Written by David Vern and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Dick Sprang and Charles Paris, this 1952 classic blends political intrigue with the shadowy world of Gotham’s masked crusader. The cover by Win Mortimer captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a story where power, secrecy, and justice collide.
