In "Double Batman vs. Double X," a bizarre string of odd local laws from across America—ranging from fishing tackle bans in cemeteries to fines for oil drips from cars—sparks a mystery that has Batman and his doppelgänger, the Double X, racing to uncover a criminal mastermind exploiting these strange ordinances. Written, drawn, and inked by Henry Boltinoff, this 1963 tale blends wry satire with classic detective flair, all framed by Sheldon Moldoff’s sharp cover art.

In "The Bandits with Super-Powers," Manhunter finds himself outmatched when three criminals gain incredible abilities from a mysterious meteor—just as he's lost his own powers. With no strength of his own, he must rely on wit and courage, while Diane’s unexpected exposure to the same meteor sets her on a path that could change everything.
