Detective Comics #313

In "The Mystery of the $1,000,000 Treasure Hunt," a gang boss stages his own demise to draw two warring gangs—and Batman—into a high-stakes game of deception and danger. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Charles Paris, this 1963 classic blends suspense and sleight of hand in a plot that keeps readers guessing from start to finish. The cover, also by Moldoff, captures the tension with a striking, dramatic image that perfectly sets the tone.
