Detective Comics Vol 1, Issue #381

Newsstand Edition
Release date: November 1968

Estimated grade VG (borderline VG- if you’re being cranky about the creasing). Solid 12-cent Silver Age reader with multiple color-breaking spine ticks, moderate spine/edge wear, corner blunting, and a couple visible cover creases (including that long front-cover line). Back cover presents nicer but still shows edge rub.

One Drown...One To Go! A smuggling crew puts a contract out on Robin, so Batman sells them the “job done” with a brutal-looking Gotham Baystunt. The crooks come out of hiding, Batman moves in solo—until Robin claws his way back into the action for a lighthouse throwdown, where Mr. X takes a lethal shock and a long drop.
