Detective Comics #610 1990

Detective Comics #610, published in January 1990, begins "Snow and Ice - Part One: Ode to a Penguin." The story sees the apparent death and funeral of Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, but Batman suspects foul play. Indeed, Penguin faked his demise, orchestrating his own resurrection to enact a new plot against Gotham. This issue is notable for collectors as the start of a clever Penguin scheme and for its iconic Norm Breyfogle cover, which subtly features the creative team's names on tombstones.
