“The Penguin Returns, Part Two: The Egyptian Falcon”

In "The Egyptian Falcon," the Penguin resurfaces with a cunning new scheme, weaving ancient mystique into his criminal ambitions as he sets a deadly game of cat and mouse against Batman. Written by Doug Moench and brought to life with moody, atmospheric art by Kelley Jones—inked by John Beatty and colored by Greg Wright and Android Images—this issue deepens the shadowy tension between Gotham’s most infamous villain and the city’s brooding protector. The cover, penciled by Jones and inked by Beatty, captures the eerie grandeur of the falcon’s presence.
