In "Let the Villain Fit the Crime," Captain Comet storms the Secret Society of Super-Villains' base—only to find it empty, his frustration broadcast in real time through their still-active surveillance. As Kid Flash investigates a possible betrayal by The Trickster, he's ambushed by the Society's henchmen, leading to a tense pursuit that culminates in a surprise clash at their new hideout. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Rich Buckler’s dynamic art and Bob Layton’s inks, with Jerry Serpe’s colors adding depth, this 1977 issue delivers a sharp, suspenseful chase across the DC Universe. The cover, penciled by Buckler and inked by Jack Abel, captures the moment of confrontation with bold, expressive flair.
