Batman Album #43

When Alfred falls ill, Batman races to uncover a growing mystery: Gotham’s citizens are succumbing to a strange sickness, and the source lies in the city’s water. With the reservoir under siege by a sinister force, the Dark Knight confronts the man behind the poisoning—Dr. Phosphorus—whose twisted mind is illuminated only by death’s eerie light.

In "The Dead Yet Live," Bruce Wayne seeks recovery at the secluded Graytowers hospital, but his peace is shattered when he uncovers a chilling conspiracy: Dr. Hugo Strange is using the facility to enslave the wealthy and powerful, turning them into obedient puppets. When a venomous snake attack leaves Batman unconscious, Strange seizes the moment to expose the hero’s secret identity, setting off a dangerous game of cat and mouse within the sterile walls of the asylum.

In "I Am the Batman!", Hugo Strange manipulates Bruce Wayne’s life from the shadows, auctioning off the Batman’s secret identity to the highest bidder—only for Boss Thorne to intervene with violence. When Silver grows suspicious of the man claiming to be Bruce, she calls on Dick Grayson, now Robin, to uncover the truth and free the real Batman from Strange’s clutches.

In "The Malay Penguin!", the Penguin sets his sights on a mysterious statue, but Batman soon realizes the real danger lies beneath the surface. With Robin at his side, the Dark Knight follows a trail of clever clues to uncover the villain’s true scheme—before it’s too late.
