Comment(s):

One week passes between pages 3 and 4 of this issue. Morelli appears only in the first section; Batman, Robin and Alfred appear in both; all other characters appear only in the second [by which time James Gordon and Sarah Essen have become husband and wife]

Synopsis:

Vincent Morelli, recently put away by James Gordon, puts out a contract on the Commissioner's head, which is taken by Headhunter. Getting wind of this, and tired of waiting, Gordon heads out alone to try to find the assassin, and Sarah is reluctantly forced to call Batman in to help. She is grateful for the assistance the vigilante gives her husband in defeating the assassin, but still wishes he didn't exist.
