In "Crime Takes a Holiday," the sudden death of comedian Happy Hanson sets off a bizarre chain of events when his will reveals a contest: five top comedians must deliver the funniest joke to claim clues to a hidden fortune. But when the Joker himself enters the competition, the line between humor and horror blurs — and Gotham’s Dark Knight finds himself drawn into a game where laughter could be the deadliest weapon of all. Written by Bill Finger, with art by Bob Kane and inks by Jerry Robinson, this standout issue features a cover by Fred Ray and Jerry Robinson.
