“Dr. Phosphorus Is Back!”

In "Dr. Phosphorus Is Back!", Batman faces a chilling return from the past as the villainous Dr. Phosphorus resurfaces with a new threat, testing the Dark Knight’s resolve in a story drawn with crisp precision by Curt Swan and Vince Colletta. The cover, a striking portrait by José Luis García-López, captures the moment’s tension with a flair that’s both classic and haunting.
