Detective Comics #264
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA wax museum setting makes for a wonderfully offbeat backdrop in this 1959 DC gem, as Batman squares off against a sword-wielding villain disguised as a pirate — while Robin shouts a warning and eerie wax figures loom in the background. Curt Swan's pencils and Stan Kaye's inks give the scene a lively, kinetic energy, with the costumed killer mid-swing and Batman poised to respond. "Peril at Playland Isle," written by Bill Finger with interior art by Dick Sprang and Charles Paris, promises the kind of clever, atmospheric mystery that made Detective Comics such a dependable treat in the Silver Age.
