“Crime Between the Acts!”

In "Crime Between the Acts!", the Caped Crusaders investigate a string of mysterious crimes tied to a traveling showboat and its performers, all arriving just as trouble strikes the town. With sharp storytelling by Joseph Greene and dynamic art by Ed Kressy and Dick Sprang—whose inks and lettering bring the noir atmosphere to life—this 1944 issue delivers a classic mystery with a theatrical twist. The cover by Dick Sprang captures the intrigue with a striking, shadowed scene of the showboat at dock.
