World's Finest Comics #49

In "The Men Who Shot Superman!", a mysterious criminal spree tied to feathers throws Gotham into chaos, with the Penguin taunting Batman through cryptic white feathers—each one a challenge to his courage. Written by David Vern and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Dick Sprang, this 1950 issue captures the tension between hero and villain in a story where fear and reputation become weapons. The cover by Win Mortimer and Stan Kaye perfectly captures the eerie, feather-laden menace of the Penguin’s scheme.
