In "Todes-Express: Teil 1 - Geiseln der Geschichte," Batman und die Metallos are tasked with guarding a special train carrying the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution on the 200th anniversary of American independence. Just before departure, the Metallos are recalled by telegram, and Batman, noticing suspicious figures, is suddenly overpowered by three Indians who threaten to destroy the historic documents. Written by Bob Haney and illustrated by Jim Aparo, with cover art by Jim Aparo, this 1978 issue delivers a tense, high-stakes thriller from the early days of the Superman comic series published by Egmont Ehapa.

In "Todes-Express: Teil 2 - Ultimatum für ein Dampfroß," Batman finds himself racing against time as the Metallos—Gold, Platina, Zinn, Quecksilber, Blei, Eisen, and Prof. Charles Adler—unravel a dangerous scheme tied to a stolen train and a shocking demand from the captors: land for the Indians, massive funds, and the nullification of all treaties. With the President powerless to comply and the Metallos closing in, Batman must navigate a high-stakes chase through the rails, where even the most unlikely allies—like Nadja Teich and Ed Fuchs—may hold the key to stopping the chaos before it ignites.
