“Return to the Electrocutioner”

In "Return to the Electrocutioner," Batman faces a chilling resurgence as the Electrocutioner resurfaces to execute Gotham’s criminals, forcing the Dark Knight to unravel a deadly pattern. With Commissioner Gordon hospitalized and internal corruption threatening to unravel the GCPD, the city’s fragile order teeters—especially as Haney moves to seize power. Written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated with gritty precision by Jim Aparo, with inks by Mike DeCarlo and colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1991 thriller delivers a tense, character-driven descent into Gotham’s shadows. The cover by Michael Golden captures the issue’s ominous tone.
