Comment(s):
- Most of this issue is a flashback to an episode in Bruce Wayne's training to become Batman.
Synopsis: - Batman visits the owner of Huntsville, where he trained with detective Harvey Harris. He recalls a case of multiple murders which involved a racist secret society and an illegitimate child. Harris died in the pursuit of the case, and the man behind it escaped justice, but Batman keeps going back to Huntsville to remind the man that he knows what he did.
