In "Something Scary," Batman confronts his deepest dread—being powerless to save those he cares about—while Robin battles the twisted mind games of the Scarecrow, and Green Arrow grapples with the relentless Printer's Devil. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated with chilling precision by Gene Colan, this 1984 issue delivers a tense, character-driven thriller anchored in psychological dread. The cover, penciled by Colan and inked by Giordano, captures the creeping unease of the story with haunting clarity.
