“Angel of Death Contagion: Part Seven”

Part seven of the sprawling "Contagion" crossover arrives in Batman: Shadow of the Bat #49, and Brian Stelfreeze's cover sets an urgent, fiery tone — Batman squares off against a heavyset, gun-wielding figure in robes against a backdrop of burning Gotham architecture, skulls crowding the decorative border like a grim reminder of the plague gripping the city. The story title "Angel of Death" promises that writer Alan Grant and artist Vince Giarrano are pushing the stakes of this epidemic saga to their darkest edge yet. If you've been following "Contagion" through 1996, this chapter looks like one you won't want to skip.
