In "Fury of the Five-in-One Foe!", Batman’s allies face a wave of bizarre new threats: Robin and Harlequin clash with the lumbering Lumberjack, while Batgirl thwarts Johnny G.I.’s train heist—only to discover the original Bat-Girl locked in combat with the enigmatic Laser Razer. As the team pieces together the clues, they realize these seemingly separate villains are all part of a single, cunning mastermind with a shocking agenda. Written by Bob Rozakis and illustrated by Don Heck, with inks by John Celardo and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1978 DC classic features a dynamic cover by Jim Aparo.
