Detective Comics #482
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Night of the Body Snatcher!", the mysterious Wo Fong takes a dangerous gamble, abducting Barbara and Leslie under the guise of a twisted game of cat and mouse. With Barbara held to draw out her brother Tony and Leslie targeted for a shocking assumption, the stakes rise in a tense, shadowy confrontation that tests the limits of Gotham’s vigilantes. Written by Bob Rozakis and illustrated by Don Heck, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte and colors by Jerry Serpe, the issue’s cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano captures the dread of a city on edge.
In "A Quick Death in China!", Barbara and Leslie find themselves in a deadly trap set by the ruthless Wo Fong, who believes Barbara can be used to draw out her brother Tony—and that Leslie is Batgirl. With time running out and danger closing in, the two women must rely on their wits and courage to survive.
In "Bat-Mite's New York Adventure!", the mischievous little superhero Bat-Mite hijacks the creative process, summoning writer and artist Allen Milgrom—and everyone else needed—to his side with a wave of magic, demanding his very own story in the Batman comic. What unfolds is a delightfully chaotic behind-the-scenes romp where imagination takes flight, and the line between creator and character blurs in the most unexpected way.
