Läderlappen #1/1973
"Mary MacGuffin dör i gryningen!" marks a pivotal moment in the Batman mythos, with Denny O'Neil scripting a story that delves into the origins of the Joker, while Neal Adams' striking interior art brings the dark, twisted world of Gotham to life. The issue sees the Joker, known here as Dubbelansiktet, stealing a massive helium balloon during a Gotham parade to raise a sunken schooner carrying a hidden treasure, setting the stage for a chilling tale of obsession and chaos. Bernie Wrightson’s haunting cover, penciled by Adams, captures the eerie tone of the story, making this 1973 release a standout in the series’ early run.
