The Super Heroes #3
In "Wanted: Santa Claus -- Dead or Alive!", Batman teams up with Boomer Katz, a recently paroled thief, to foil a mob heist at a department store during the holidays—using nothing but a stolen star from a nativity scene and the power of unexpected redemption. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Frank Miller, with inks by Steve Mitchell and letters by Ben Oda, this 1981 Egmont UK gem blends noir tension with seasonal charm. The cover, by Bryan Talbot, captures the story’s gritty-yet-festive mood in bold, striking detail.
