“Shadow Play”

In "Shadow Play," Batman returns to Wayne Manor with Dick and Alfred, only to be met by Francine Langstrom, who demands Bruce honor his promise to find and rescue her husband, Kirk. With Rebecca by his side, Batman ventures into the cave system beneath the manor, tracking the Man-Bat—still haunted by the belief that his daughter is lost and convinced that Batman is his enemy. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated with moody precision by Gene Colan, inks by Klaus Janson, and colors by Adrienne Roy, this gripping tale unfolds in a haunting atmosphere, with Jim Aparo’s cover capturing the tension in stark, shadowed detail.
