Written by Kevin VanHook and illustrated with haunting detail by Tom Mandrake—whose inks and colors deepen the dread—this issue delivers a chilling chapter in Batman’s ongoing war against the bizarre. The cover by Tom Mandrake captures the eerie atmosphere with a stark, shadow-drenched image of the Dark Knight in the bayou’s grip.
