“The Two Faces of Midnight!”

DC's long-running team-up title brings together two of Gotham's finest in The Brave and the Bold #196, starring Batman and Ragman. Jim Aparo's cover crackles with energy, showing Batman grappling with the patchwork-caped Ragman amid streaking yellow energy beams against a darkened cityscape of rooftops and fire escapes. With Robert Kanigher scripting "The Two Faces of Midnight!" and Aparo handling both the art and lettering, this 1983 issue delivers a moody, street-level adventure pairing the Dark Knight with one of DC's most distinctive urban heroes.
