“Break-In at the Big House”

Batman stalks forward in full costume as a dramatic Bat-signal illuminates the scene behind him, while armed police officers and a figure pointing accusatorily close in — all while a speech bubble brands him "The Bat-Murderer!" and demands he be taken "dead or alive." Jim Aparo's cover immediately sets a gripping tone of wrongful pursuit, with the Dark Knight cornered by a massive law enforcement presence on the streets. This March 1975 100-page giant also packs in backup tales featuring Robin, Elongated Man, Dr. Mid-Nite, Roy Raymond, and Star Hawkins — making it a genuinely satisfying read from cover to final page.
