“The Dead Yet Live”

In "The Dead Yet Live," Bruce Wayne seeks refuge at the secluded Graytowers hospital after a brutal clash with Dr. Phosphorus, only to find the facility harboring a far more sinister agenda. As Hugo Strange manipulates patients into obedient puppets, Batman is ambushed by a venomous snake—leading to a shocking revelation that exposes his true identity. Written by Steve Englehart and brought to life with chilling precision by Marshall Rogers (pencils and colors) and Terry Austin (inks), this 1986 issue delivers a tense, atmospheric thriller with a cover by Marshall Rogers that captures the story’s creeping dread.
