“The Battling Butler!”

In "The Battling Butler!", a timeline twist brings forth a heavier, more uncertain version of Alfred Beagle, once a trusted ally in Batman’s past, now grappling with the reality that his methods may no longer fit the present. Written by Alan Grant and illustrated by Bret Blevins, with colors by Adrienne Roy and letters by Todd Klein, this 1994 issue explores the clash between legacy and change. The cover by Brian Stelfreeze captures the moment’s weight with striking clarity.
