Every day feels like Friday the 13th when you're a crook caught in the glare of masked vigilante Thirteen! This dynamic full-page splash opens "The Glass Gargoyle", starring a two-fisted mystery man who hunted down crooks, saboteurs, and spies on the darkened streets of the World War II era. Leaning into pulp and noir roots, Thirteen delivered shadow-soaked crime-fighting with a grittier edge than the flashier superheroics of Daredevil. Behind the moody inks was artist and former boxer Bernie Klein, a New York freelancer who even roomed with Batman artist Jerry Robinson, before his promising career was cut tragically short in WWII combat.
