Detective Comics #413

In "Freak-Out at Phantom Hollow!", Batman investigates a strange curse plaguing the town of Phantom Hollow, while Batgirl uncovers a sinister scheme by wig designer Vazly, who uses deadly wigs to extort his victims. When Batgirl confronts him, she’s startled by a sudden wig assault—only to realize it’s the very one meant for her alter ego, Barbara Gordon, and she’s already neutralized the threat. Written by Frank Robbins and illustrated by Bob Brown with inks by Dick Giordano and Steve Englehart, this 1971 tale blends eerie mystery with a clever twist, all rendered with dynamic flair. The cover, a striking piece by Neal Adams, captures the story’s unsettling tone.
