Batman: The Night Turned Into Nightmare

After Steve Englehart's acclaimed run on Batman with artist Marshall Rogers, Len Wein returned to DC to write Batman, first in Detective Comics and then onto Batman.  Wein's return to Batman paired him up to start with Marshall Rogers. 

And a splash page that has to be one of the coolest entrances for the Dark Knight Detective. 

Get a load of that caption. 

"...one of the shadows strewn about the darkness detached itself from the rest... and the night turned into nightmare." 

Man, Len Wein knew how to write a great hook.
