Disclose Notes: See the notes for this feature in the previous issue for possible involvement by Batman alumni Jerry Robinson and George Roussos. This installment offers much more solid evidence. It looks like Roussos again on letters and Robinson on partial inks. Look, in particular, at The Target's face in the splash panel, and also the faces of some of female characters throughout, then think 1940 Kane/Robinson Catwoman.
