Warlord #10
In "Tower of Fear," DC's Warlord #10 (1977) delivers a delightfully odd twist on a classic caper, as The Penguin employs a fleet of mechanical cuckoo clocks to pull off a series of robberies—only to be undone by a surprisingly sweet trap involving Hostess Fruit Pies. With Curt Swan's clean, expressive art and Vince Colletta's crisp inks bringing the absurdity to life, and Mike Grell's cover capturing the chaotic charm, this issue stands out as a quirky, memorable entry in the series.
