The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1150: Detective Comics #630, June 1991

https://www.comics.org/issue/49736/

Today's issue has Batman tracking down another vigilante who is wanted by the FBI. This vigilante, known as Stiletto, actually only preys on bad people, but the fact that he pushed past Batman's rule of no killing puts him in the Dark Knight's sights.

There's some interesting moments where Batman is reviewing information about Stiletto and almost, almost feels sympathetic to his cause. But then the killing part comes up, and all bets are off.

So, a good tale with at least on gruesome murder (a wheelchair-bound crook gets super-glued upside down to a ceiling - truly chilling visuals), and Batman gets to confront what he might have, or may yet, become.

More to come...
