Batman #521

In "Killer Croc: Fast Train to the Wet Dark," Batman follows a trail of chaos from Arkham Asylum to the swamps of Louisiana, where a fugitive Croc has vanished into the shadows—only to be met by an unseen ally lurking in the wet dark. Written by Doug Moench and brought to life with moody, atmospheric art by Kelley Jones, inks by John Beatty, and colors by Greg Wright, this issue blends Southern gothic tension with the grim intensity of Gotham’s most grotesque villain. The cover, also by Jones with Beatty’s inks, captures the menace of Croc’s escape in stark, unsettling detail.
