“Inquiring Minds”

★ 1st appearance — Spoiler

In "Inquiring Minds," the Cluemaster resurfaces with a new modus operandi—no more clues at the crime scenes—yet someone else is deliberately planting breadcrumbs for Batman and Robin to follow. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Tom Lyle, with inks by Scott Hanna, colors by Adrienne Roy, and letters by John Costanza, this 1992 Detective Comics tale unfolds with a twist that keeps the Dark Knight one step behind. The cover, by Matt Wagner, captures the mystery in sharp, shadowed detail.
