In "At the Heart of Stone," Batman joins forces with a KGB agent named Katia to stop the terrorist known as the Dark Rider, who has smuggled plutonium into Gotham with the intent to contaminate the city’s water supply. With Paul Gulacy’s striking art bringing every shadow and tension-filled moment to life, this 1986 issue delivers a taut, grounded thriller where every move could mean disaster.
