Batman #398

Batman #398 brings writer Doug Moench and cover artist Tom Mandrake together for a tense mid-1986 chapter titled "About Faces!" — and the cover makes the stakes unmistakably clear. Batman is locked in a desperate struggle with Two-Face, the villain's scarred visage twisted with menace, while a pleading caption begs Catwoman to intervene before it's too late — and Catwoman, shown walking away in the background, delivers a cool "Sorry, sport… this time you're on your own." It's a striking three-way dynamic that promises alliance, betrayal, and the kind of moral complexity that made this era of Batman storytelling genuinely compelling.
