In "The Case of the Three Devils!", Batman and Robin take on a daring gang of jewel thieves with a flair for the dramatic—literally leaping from rooftops and vanishing into the night. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life by Bob Kane’s iconic art, with inks by Jerry Robinson and George Roussos, this 1941 classic showcases the early days of Gotham’s Dark Knight in a sleek, suspenseful mystery. The cover by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson captures the shadowy intrigue of the tale, a 10-cent dive into the origins of detective work in the DC Universe.
