“A Never-Ending Story”

In "A Never-Ending Story," the Batman of the 853rd century races against time through a futuristic Gotham, evading both the Gotham Police and Commissioner James Gordon as he hunts for a cure to the deadly Hourman Virus. Written by Alan Grant and brought to life by Mark Buckingham’s striking interior art, with Wayne Faucher’s inks and Pam Rambo’s colors, this issue stands out as a bold, time-jumping chapter in the Batman mythos. The cover, a collaborative effort by Glen Orbik and Pat Garrahy, captures the urgency of a hero lost in a future where the fight never ends.
