☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Cry of the Night is -- 'Sudden Death!'", Batman and Robin investigate the murder of wealthy atomic chemist Lambert, found dead with a poker in his living room—a crime scene that hints at a meticulously staged puzzle. Written by Mike Friedrich and brought to life with sharp art by Bob Brown and inks by Joe Giella, the story unfolds with the grounded tension of a classic mystery, while Irv Novick’s cover captures the moment’s chilling stillness.
In "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate," the Bat-Man takes on his first major case, diving into the murder of a wealthy chemical tycoon. With no clear leads, he uncovers a web of greed and betrayal among the man’s partners, each with motive and opportunity.
