Detective Comics #592

In "The Fear, Part One," Batman dives into a chilling mystery when a corpse is discovered with its heart removed—its only clues being terrified witnesses who swear the killers looked like Jesus and Abraham Lincoln. Written by Alan Grant and John Wagner, with moody, detailed art by Norm Breyfogle, this 1988 issue blends psychological dread with the eerie, grounded tone that defined Batman’s darker era. The cover by Breyfogle captures the unsettling atmosphere perfectly, setting the stage for a story that lingers long after the final page.
