Detective Comics 453 page 30

This page, a V-day gift, is from a memorable Elongated Man story. It was published in September 1975 and was the first Batman comic I owned as a youth. Thanks to Enrico "Red Sector Art" Salvini for helping my wife surprise me!


Here's a summary of the story written by Mike W. Barr, from monitorduty.com:


"Case of the Reverse-Pickpocket!"

Sue takes all of Ralph's money for a shopping trip, yet Ralph later discovers that his wallet is
full of cash. Deducing that he's been the victim of a reverse-pickpocket, Ralph captures a nearby
man who turns out to be a renowned thief. However, the thief has been used by his therapist; the
doctor hypnotized the thief into stealing for him, then had him plant money on Ralph so that he'd
take the rap for the crimes.
