“Video Nasties”

In "Video Nasties," Batman investigates a disturbing trend of homemade snuff films, tracking down amateur filmmaker Oscar Lampet for a brutal act of violence. With the stakes rising and the camera rolling, Batman finds himself unexpectedly the target of a twisted production—his own fight for survival now the centerpiece of a horrifying new movie. Written by Alan Grant and illustrated by Eduardo Barreto, with inks by Steve Mitchell, colors by Adrienne Roy, and letters by Todd Klein, this gripping tale features a cover by Norm Breyfogle.
