Detective Comics #86

In "Danger Strikes Three!", Alfred finds himself stepping far outside his usual role when a radio report claims Robin has been captured by a gang of thieves. Determined to act, he defies Bruce Wayne’s orders and sets out on a solo mission to track down the boy detective—using his sharp mind and experience to unravel the mystery, even as the stakes grow dangerously high. Written by Don C. Cameron and illustrated with crisp precision by Dick Sprang, this 1944 classic sees the trusted butler take center stage in a suspenseful adventure that pushes his limits. The cover by Dick Sprang captures the tension perfectly, with a dramatic, shadowed image of Alfred in motion.
