The Batman Chronicles #2

In "The Horde of the Green Dragon!", Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson trade Gotham’s shadows for a cross-country getaway, only to find that a small town’s new mayor is running a web of crime from behind a veneer of legitimacy—gambling dens, corrupt officers, and a growing undercurrent of danger. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Bob Kane, with inks by Kane, Jerry Robinson, and George Roussos, this 2006 tale blends classic detective work with the uneasy tension of a town hiding its true face beneath a polished surface. The cover, penciled by Bob Kane and inked by Jerry Robinson, captures the mystery with a stark, noir-inspired silhouette of the Bat symbol looming over a shadowed skyline.
