Detective Comics #616

In "Stone Killer," Batman delves into a chilling series of ritualistic murders carried out by a cloaked figure whose presence alone paralyzes his victims with dread. Written by Alan Grant and brought to life with stark, atmospheric art by Norm Breyfogle—whose cover pencils and inks define the issue’s eerie tone—this 1990 installment of Detective Comics blends psychological tension with supernatural undertones, as the Dark Knight confronts a killer whose motives reach beyond mere violence.
