Detective Comics #501

In "The Man Who Killed Mlle. Marie!", Batman tracks Alfred and Lucius to Paris after their sudden disappearance, plunging into a shadowy mystery tied to the wartime death of the French resistance fighter Mlle. Marie. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Don Newton with inks by Dan Adkins, this 1981 tale unfolds with a cold, atmospheric tension, the colors by Adrienne Roy and letters by Ben Oda adding depth to a story that keeps its secrets close. The cover by Jim Aparo captures the noir edge of the hunt, a stark silhouette against a Parisian skyline.
