Justice League of America #164

Mar 1979 · DC · 0.40 USD
“Murder by Melody!”

In "Murder by Melody!", the Penguin stages a bizarre heist using marching penguin puppets to draw crowds, all while targeting a priceless antique sword—only to be thrown off his game by a surprise delivery of Hostess Fruit Pies planted by the police. Curt Swan’s crisp art and Vince Colletta’s dynamic inks bring the absurd spectacle to life, while Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano’s cover captures the chaos in bold, playful detail.
