Detective Comics #219

Batman and Robin tear through the streets of Gotham in their distinctive Batmobile, locked in a high-speed pursuit alongside a vintage pink roadster driven by a mysterious figure — all part of what the cover promises is "Gotham City's Strangest Race!" Win Mortimer's cover art captures the thrill of the chase with bright, energetic colors and a wonderfully retro automotive feel that's pure 1955. With Bill Finger writing and Sheldon Moldoff illustrating the interior story, this ten-cent issue delivers the kind of Dynamic Duo adventure that made Detective Comics a mainstay of the Silver Age.
