Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Dick Sprang, with inks by Stan Kaye and letters by Pat Gordon, this 1956 adventure features Curt Swan’s dynamic cover, capturing the playful chaos of the moment.
In "The Case of the Mother Goose Mystery," a real-life robbery at a Gotham museum throws the city into chaos—just as a trio of impostors, dressed as Batman, Robin, and Superman, attempt to pull off a scam. When the real heroes accidentally step in to stop the crime, their presence only deepens the mystery, especially as clues point to a familiar rhyme-singing culprit and a cast of oddball suspects, including the ever-suspicious Dr. King and the enigmatic "Foots" Moley.
