Detective Comics #77

In "The Crime Clinic!", a brilliant surgeon with a fascination for criminal psychology opens a bizarre new establishment where would-be offenders come seeking expert guidance on how to commit crimes—offering a chilling twist on the idea of medical help. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Bob Kane, with inks by George Roussos, this 1943 issue delivers a uniquely unsettling take on crime and conscience. The cover, also by Bob Kane with inks by Roussos, captures the eerie tone of the story with its striking, shadowed composition.
