Detective Comics #378

In "Batman! Drop Dead... Twice!", a rare moment of tension sees Robin walk away from Batman, only for a rival duo—Salvo and his apprentice Chino—to mirror the rift, leading Chino to unexpectedly become Robin’s roommate. Written by Frank Robbins and brought to life by Bob Brown’s art with inks by Joe Giella, this 1968 tale explores fractured partnerships with a touch of unexpected camaraderie. The cover by Irv Novick captures the issue’s sharp, dramatic flair.
