In "The Ghost of Batman," a twist of fate leaves Batman seemingly dead while Superman dons his cowl to infiltrate Gotham's underworld.

Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Jim Mooney, with inks by Sheldon Moldoff, this 1964 classic features a cover by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff, capturing the eerie tension of a hero who's alive but must remain a ghost.
