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.

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.
