In "The Crime of Bruce Wayne," a 1957 issue of Detective Comics, Bruce Wayne takes a dangerous gamble to uncover a hidden fortune, pretending to be the notorious criminal the Collector—only to find himself wrongly sentenced to death row. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Charles Paris, the story unfolds with tense suspense and a twist that redefines the line between justice and deception. The cover, also by Moldoff, captures the moment of high stakes with a striking, dramatic image.
