Detective Comics #768

In "Purity Part 1 of 3," Batman returns to the streets of Gotham as a new wave of heroin hits the city, tied to the mysterious and deadly resurgence of the Lucky Hand Triad—haunted by a ghost from their past, a shadowy figure cloaked in feathers. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Steve Lieber, with inks by Mick Gray and colors by Jason Wright and Wildstorm FX, this gripping chapter sets a tense, atmospheric tone. The issue also features the sixth installment of "Josie Mac," by Judd Winick and Cliff Chiang. The cover, by John McCrea and James Hodgkins, captures the eerie, brooding mood of the story.
