☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Battle of the Billboards!", Batman outsmarts a gang exploiting massive billboards to intimidate and extort citizens, using the city’s own skyline as a weapon. Written by Alvin Schwartz and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Sprang—both pencils and inks—this 1945 tale showcases the Caped Crusader’s sharp mind and resourcefulness in a classic noir-style showdown. The cover by Dick Sprang captures the tension with bold, striking visuals.
