2. How Many Ways Can a Robin Die?
Batman # 246 (1972)
Another great seventies mystery story.
In this one, the police arrive to a scene to find Robin… MURDERED!!!!! But not really. It’s a dummy in actuality. And after Batman checks on the real Robin, he’s called away to another scene, and another “dead Robinâ€.
So it becomes a mystery of who is doing this and when they’re going to strike the real Robin. It’s a simple mystery but a fun one with some twist to it. A murder mystery is fun but a repeated tease of a murder can be a mystery in itself. This story was echoed decades later in the Gotham Central arc “Dead Robins†which is its own kind of great, but it’s not a Batman story exclusively and it’s more than one issue. This one, however, is just a classic fun one with a good one off villain.
Plus it’s a Batman story with a guillotine in it, which is my most favorite sub-genre of Batman stories.
