Police Comics #97

When the arrogant makeup artist Prentice Mime gets fired by studio head Zac Crumton, he hatches a revenge scheme using his unparalleled gift for disguise—impersonating the theater cashier to steal the box office receipts from Crumton's downtown cinema. With Plastic Man and his pal Woozy Winks on the case, they race to stop Mime before his newfound criminal ambitions escalate to targeting Crumton's bank, where the real payoff awaits.

When The Spirit investigates the death of showgirl Cox Robin, the trail of clues leads him through a maze of criminals, blackmailers, and deception—including a desperate hood, a loyal bouncer, and a man with a carefully planned alibi. With Commissioner Dolan missing and evidence pointing in multiple directions, The Spirit must separate fact from clever misdirection to expose who really killed Cox Robin. Eisner's clever mystery asks readers to solve the crime themselves, hiding the solution plainly in the details all along.
