In "Le roi de Gotham ?", Bruce Wayne’s desperate gamble to infiltrate a criminal network backfires spectacularly when his ruse as the infamous Collector lands him on death row. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life by Sheldon Moldoff’s expressive art with Charles Paris’s inks, this 1974 tale pits Gotham’s billionaire in a high-stakes game of deception and survival. Nick Cardy’s striking cover captures the tension of a man trapped between two worlds—hero and convict—just as the story begins to unravel.
