“Prescription for Tragedy!”

In "Prescription for Tragedy!", Batman dives into a dangerous drug smuggling operation, only to find himself facing a desperate Man-Bat driven by a father’s love—his daughter’s life hanging in the balance. Written by Martin Pasko and illustrated by Don Newton, with inks by Dan Adkins and colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1980 tale blends noir tension with a poignant personal stakes. The cover by Jim Aparo captures the grim intensity of the moment.
