The Batman Chronicles #11
In "The Centuries of Crime!", Alfred’s rural fitness retreat takes an unexpected turn when Batman and Robin confront a sinister doctor wielding a mind-controlling potion. With Gotham’s defenses compromised, a mysterious figure known only as the "thin man" steps in—someone who knows more than he should about the Dark Knight and his partner. Written by Don C. Cameron and illustrated by Jack Burnley, with inks by George Roussos and lettering by George Roussos, this 2013 tale blends classic noir intrigue with a touch of the uncanny. The cover, by Dick Sprang, captures the story’s vintage flair with a striking, stylized image of the Caped Crusader in silhouette.
