In "The 100 Batarangs of Batman," Batman and Robin confront a clever criminal scheme that turns their own signature weapon against them, tracing a trail of past cases through a series of specialized batarangs. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Charles Paris, this 1957 classic showcases the duo’s resourcefulness as they race to uncover whether their enemies have mastered the secret of Batarang-X. The cover, also by Sheldon Moldoff, captures the tension with a striking image of Batman in action.
