“Red Skies”

In "Red Skies," Batman confronts a wave of terror as members of Black Mask's False Face Society are picked off one by one, with Catwoman now under suspicion and Nocturna mysteriously holed up in the observatory. With Acting Mayor Skowcroft pinning the crimes on Catwoman, Robin and Bullock race to uncover the truth before the city descends into chaos. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated with haunting precision by Tom Mandrake, this 1985 issue features a cover by Mandrake that captures the eerie tension of a Gotham under siege.
