“Fever Dream”

In "Fever Dream," Martian Manhunter grapples with a mysterious infection that overwhelms him, driving him to seek help from Batman—only to flee in terror when another surge of fear takes hold. With the Batcave no longer safe, Batman turns to the Justice League International to aid their wayward teammate. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life with moody, textured art by Mark Badger—whose distinctive pencils and inks define both the interior and the striking cover—this 1988 issue marks a pivotal moment in the character’s journey.
