Batman Sonderheft #43

In "Das Todesurteil," Roman Sionis—haunted by a rigid upbringing and driven by obsession—finds himself entangled with the enigmatic model Circe. When his parents forbid their relationship, their rejection becomes a chilling prelude to tragedy. As his cosmetics empire teeters on collapse and a dangerous, untested formula is unleashed, his rage intensifies, pushing him toward a breaking point. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Tom Mandrake with colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1985 issue captures a descent fueled by pride and loss. The cover, by Paris Cullins and Bob Smith, mirrors the tension simmering beneath the surface.
