“Superman's and Batman's Greatest Foes!”

In World's Finest Comics #88, Superman and Batman face their most bizarre team-up yet when Lex Luthor and the Joker form an unlikely alliance to build a fleet of indestructible Mechano-Men. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Dick Sprang, with Stan Kaye handling inks and Pat Gordon on letters, this 1957 classic sees the Dynamic Duo unraveling a scheme that's as baffling as it is dangerous—while Curt Swan's iconic cover captures the uneasy partnership of DC's most notorious foes.
