In "Beware the Eyes of Baron Tyme," Gerry Conway crafts a chilling mystery as Batman delves into the vanishings of high-profile figures, uncovering a web of secrets tied to Gotham’s forgotten freaks. With Jim Aparo’s sharp, expressive art bringing the story to life—both in the interior and on a striking cover by Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo—this issue blends noir intrigue with the eerie atmosphere of a haunted amusement park, where past and present collide.
