Bring on the Bad Guys: The Prophetic Killer

Real name: Wylie
A.K.A.: none
First Appearance: Detective Comics I#42 (August 1940)

Another proper mystery this time out. Mr. Ryder is your typical starving artist who has been forced to make portraits of various members of Gotham society just to keep the lights on.

Things are going fine, that is until the subjects of his paintings end up dying in ways that mirror the way the paintings are defaced. Can Bat man solve the case? He's better solve it fast, as Bruce Wayne's portrait has just been defaced...

Decent yarn all told.
