In "The Midnight Raid of the Robin Gang!", Dick grapples with a moral dilemma when he tries to convince a friend to stay in school—only to uncover a dangerous scheme orchestrated by Al Craig. Using a network of drop-outs disguised as Robin, Craig launches a series of midnight burglaries across Gotham, turning the city’s streets into a playground of deception. Written by John Broome and brought to life by Sheldon Moldoff’s dynamic art with Joe Giella’s inks, this 1965 tale blends teenage angst with a clever criminal twist, all framed by Carmine Infantino’s striking cover.
