The Crime Doctor Calls at Midnight!
Story on Interior Page(s)		 16 J-6623 Story continues in next issue.

Batman previously battled a Crime Doctor named Dr. Matthew Thorne in Detective Comics #77 (July 1943). This story appears to be the first meeting between Batman and any Crime Doctor, so presumably Bradford Thorne is the Earth 1 Crime Doctor and this is his first appearance, while Matthew Thorne is the Crime Doctor of Earth 2.
