This is not a reprint of this story as originally published. Instead, it is a redrawn (traced), re-lettered, and censored copy which was originally published in Detective Comics #387. A notable change is that the murder victim on page 2, panel 2 does not have a knife jutting out of his back, as he did in the originally-published version of this story.
