Batman #9
In "El Oscuro Mensajero de la Piedad," a mysterious force stirs beneath the shadow of Merlin’s tomb, drawing a clash between the Baron and a malevolent entity. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with stark precision by Steve Ditko, this 1979 tale unfolds as the battle is abruptly halted by Stavik and the villagers, leaving the Demonio with the Book of Eternity in his grasp. The cover by Jim Aparo captures the eerie tension, a 35 ESP comic that stands out in the series’ early years.
In "¡No Hay Secretos Para Tyme!", the clash between the Baron and the Demon over Merlin’s tomb is cut short when Stavik and the local villagers intervene. As the Baron flees, the Demon makes a desperate bid to reclaim the Book of Eternity.
