In "One Hole in a Quilt of Madness," Jason stumbles through the aftermath of Crazy-Quilt’s assault, his mind still tangled in the villain’s web, while Batman remains blind to the fact that Jason was manipulated into turning on him. Meanwhile, Alfred lends his steady hand as Julia digs into the mysterious death of her stepfather, unraveling secrets one thread at a time. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated with moody precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Bob Smith and colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1984 issue delivers a tense, character-driven mystery. The cover, penciled by Colan and inked by Dick Giordano, captures the eerie stillness before the storm.
