classic Dick Sprang double Joker bondage cover
Detective Comics #85 features both a classic Dick Sprang cover and a vital story in the Joker canon. That's captured in Sprang's wild work showing off dueling Jokers battling before a baffled Batman and Robin. "The Joker's Double" is the first story in which the Clown Prince of Crime is bedeviled by an impersonator who lacks his sense of style. This plot device, of course, would later be revisited several times over the years. This beloved book also features one of the Joker's earliest revelations that he's usually better off with keeping Batman alive. (In a terrifying twist, "The Joker's Double" also ends with a PSA to collect scrap paper amidst the WWII shortage, with many Golden Age comics lost to those paper drives.)
