Detective Comics #227

In "The 50 Faces of Batman," a mysterious figure known only as Monte Fisk evades justice time and again—until the Martian Manhunter takes up the case. Using his psychic abilities, the alien detective uncovers Fisk’s guilt, but without proof, he can’t make an arrest. As Fisk grows desperate, he sends assassins after the Manhunter, only to find that no earthly weapon can harm him. The story unfolds with a tense cat-and-mouse game where identity and perception blur, and the line between man and myth begins to fade. Written by Joe Samachson and Jack Miller, with art by Joe Certa and cover by Win Mortimer, this 1956 issue offers a classic blend of mystery and sci-fi, all wrapped in a 10-cent package.
