“Death-Web”

In "Death-Web," Batman disrupts a drug deal only to find the dealers dead—murdered by the Black Spider, a shadowy figure who mimics Batman’s methods but takes lethal justice to a new extreme. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Ernie Chua with inks by Frank McLaughlin, this 1976 issue explores the blurred line between hero and vigilante, all under a striking cover by Ernie Chan.
