Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated with timeless precision by Curt Swan, with inks by George Klein and letters by Joe Letterese, this 1977 Limited Collectors' Edition features a striking cover by Neal Adams, capturing the grim urgency of the moment.
In "Night of the Reaper!" from Limited Collectors' Edition #C-52 (1977), Dick Grayson and his college friends head to a Halloween celebration in Rutland, Vermont, only to find themselves caught in a storm of old grudges. Robin and Batman must navigate a deadly game where two factions—one seeking justice, the other vengeance—converge on a haunted past tied to a fugitive ex-Nazi officer.
In "The Demon Within!", a boy with hidden magical abilities struggles to control his terrifying transformations into a monstrous form—each one drawing horrified stares and panic from the townspeople. As his family grapples with fear and desperation, they face a harrowing choice: can they heal him, or must they erase him entirely?
In the quiet aftermath of Calvary, three Roman centurions—Marcus, Rufio, and Antonius—gather in a dim tavern, their thoughts heavy with the weight of what they’ve witnessed. As they drink in silence, the echoes of the crucifixion linger in their memories, each man grappling with the moral cost of duty.
In "The Last Days of Superman! Part I: Superman's Death Sentence!", a Kryptonian artifact carrying the deadly Virus X crashes on Earth, and despite Superman’s desperate efforts to contain it by burying it beneath a massive boulder, he begins to show signs of exposure. With only 30 days to live, the Man of Steel faces the terrifying reality of his own mortality, unaware of what the future holds.
In the final hours of his life, Superman bids farewell to those he loves, unaware of the truth behind his fading strength. When Supergirl uncovers that he wasn’t infected by Virus X, a desperate signal from Mon-El in the Phantom Zone reveals the real source of his distress—just as time runs out.
