Batman Hors Série #5
In "Chapitre 8 : Fête des mères (mai)," Batman confronts Calendar Man in Arkham Asylum on Mother's Day, a day already charged with tension as the Scarecrow slips free during the visit. Meanwhile, Sofia tracks the Holiday killer through Gotham’s shadows while Bruce Wayne finds himself pursued by police, caught in a web of mistaken identity and escalating chaos. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated with stark intensity by Tim Sale—whose cover pencils and inks define the issue’s moody, atmospheric tone—this 1998 installment delivers a taut, character-driven thriller in the classic Batman Hors Série style.
On Mother's Day, Batman tracks Calendar Man through Arkham Asylum, but the moment he’s inside, Scarecrow slips free. Meanwhile, Sofia follows the trail of the Holiday killer as Bruce Wayne is pursued by police—caught between two crises on a day meant for celebration.
In "Chapitre 11 : La fête du Romain (août)," Sal "The Boss" Maroni's courtroom outburst—flinging acid at Harvey Dent—leaves the district attorney permanently scarred, while the city reels from another brutal strike by the elusive Holiday Killer.
