Superman #16/1979
In "Gentleman Ghost kontra Batman," Batman faces a spectral foe claiming to be the ghost of the Victorian-era jewel thief Gentleman Jim Craddock, a long-time enemy of the Hawk. As the ghost eludes capture with eerie precision, Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred goes missing—unbeknownst to Batman, hypnotized and forced into servitude by the phantom thief. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by Dick Giordano and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1979 issue delivers a chilling mystery with a supernatural twist, all framed by Joe Kubert’s haunting cover art.
