Written by Frank Robbins and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Bob Brown and inks by Joe Giella, this 1970 issue features a tense, cerebral mystery that unfolds under Neal Adams’ striking cover.
In "The Brain-Pickers!", a Wall Street broker’s high-stakes trading takes a dangerous turn when a criminal targets him for his financial mind. Batman must decode the broker’s encrypted strategies to outwit the gangster before he’s fully exploited—before the man’s mind becomes the criminal’s weapon.
