Men of War #10
In "Crossroads," Batman faces off against the Corsair of Crime in a swashbuckling showdown aboard a pirate ship, where Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara are held hostage. With his usual mix of grit and ingenuity, Batman uses a surprising tactic—Hostess Fruit Pies—to distract the pirates and rescue the hostages, all while the Batcopter hovers overhead. The story features art by Curt Swan, with cover pencils and inks by Joe Kubert, capturing the high-seas action in classic 1978 DC style.
