Comments:
Two-Face's face, having been previously restored by plastic surgery, is once again disfigured. Since the Earth-2 Two-Face, Harvey Kent, never had the surgery undone, this story takes place on Earth-1, making it the first appearance of the Earth-1 version of the character.
Synopsis:
Harvey Dent is injured in an explosion resulting in his restoritive plastic surgery coming undone. With his face once again disfigured, Harvey once again resumes his role as Two-Face.
Two-Face hires a new gang and begins targeting victims who themselves have two faces. Batman deduces Two-Face's strategy and pursues the crooks. After a few unsuccessful encounters, Batman and Robin are captured by Two-Face and tied to a giant coin. The coin is flipped above several large spikes, but the Caped Crusaders set up a magnet, so that they land right-side up. Then they round-up Two-Face and his gang.
