“Un terrible secret”

In "Un terrible secret," Batman faces a chilling new threat as Preston Payne, desperate to reverse his disfiguring condition, experiments with the remains of Matt Hagen—the former Clayface—only to unleash a horrifying transformation of his own. With Marshall Rogers’ haunting artwork and Dick Giordano’s sharp inks bringing the grotesque metamorphosis to life, this 1980 issue delivers a visceral, suspenseful clash between man and monster. Cover by Marshall Rogers and Dick Giordano.

Preston Payne uses blood from Matt Hagen, the second Clayface, to try to change the effects of hyperpituitarism on his appearance. But the "cure" causes Payne's flesh to melt like wax and forces him to periodically dissolve others into protoplasm. When Batman interferes with Payne's theft of the components necessary to reverse his condition, he may become Clayface's next victim.
