About this Collection

This collection gathers key stories featuring the ruthless crime lord Black Mask, one of Batman's most sadistic foes. It includes his origin from Batman #386 and other classic tales that showcase his brutal reign over Gotham's underworld, such as his role in the 'War Games' crossover. The volume highlights the character's evolution from a mob boss to a masked terrorist obsessed with control and chaos.

In "Black Mask: Losing Face," Tom Taylor and Cully Hamner deliver a tense, visually striking tale where Black Mask, cornered after a failed armored car heist, strikes a dangerous deal with Lex Luthor. With newfound power to steal any face, he infiltrates a corporation, forcing Batwoman and Renee Montoya to unravel a threat that’s as much about identity as it is about control. Matt Wagner’s cover captures the chilling transformation at the heart of the story.
