☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Signalman of Crime," Phil Cobb arrives in Gotham City with a plan to become a notorious criminal, taking on the guise of The Signalman to challenge Batman’s reputation. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Charles Paris and letters by Pat Gordon, this 1972 DC classic introduces a cunning foe whose traps nearly outsmart the Dynamic Duo—until luck turns. The cover, by Murphy Anderson, captures the tension of a city on edge.
In "The Signalman of Crime," a young man named Phil Cobb arrives in Gotham City with a bold plan: to carve out a name for himself as the city’s most cunning criminal by challenging Batman. Armed with clever traps and a flair for theatrics, he takes on the persona of The Signalman, only to find that even the best-laid schemes can unravel when faced with the Dark Knight’s persistence.
When the Puppet Master unleashes his Hypno-Ray to control others as mindless puppets, Green Lantern must outwit a villain who turns the city’s citizens into his marionettes—while Carol Ferris finds herself caught between her daydreams of a future with Hal Jordan and the chaos unfolding around her. Biffy, a small-time crook caught in the crossfire, adds a twist of unpredictability to the scheme.
