Detective Comics #423

In "The Most Dangerous Twenty Miles in Gotham City," Batman orchestrates a high-stakes covert transfer of a Communist spy through the city’s streets, navigating a tense standoff between rival factions vying to intercept him. Written by Frank Robbins and brought to life with sharp, atmospheric art by Bob Brown and inks by Dick Giordano, the story unfolds with taut precision and Cold War-era urgency. The cover, a striking piece by Mike Kaluta, captures the tension with a dramatic, shadowed Gotham skyline.
