In "Buttman Returns," the absurd and surreal take on superhero tropes continues as the Penicillin gains favor in Gotham City, only for Saltina to uncover his true nature—leading to a dramatic fall and a feline-revived transformation into Scatwoman. Written by Stan Hart and illustrated with signature flair by Mort Drucker, the issue blends grotesque humor and emotional tension as Scatwoman and Buttman navigate a twisted attraction, while the cover by Mort Drucker captures the story’s chaotic spirit.

In "Buttman Returns," the absurd satire of Gotham’s most unlikely hero continues as Saltina, once a loyal aide to the corrupt Penicillin, finds herself transformed—literally—by a feline rescue and a new life as Scatwoman. Though drawn to Buttman both as his rival and as his secret alter ego, she’s caught in a bizarre clash of identities and loyalties, all while the city’s villains meet their ridiculous ends. The story’s twisted charm lies in its sharp, surreal humor and the unexpected emotional weight beneath the farce.
