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.
