The Saga of Ra's Al Ghul #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Bruce Wayne — Rest in Peace!", Howard Post and Neal Adams deliver a chilling tale rooted in a 19th-century curse, as merchant seaman Angus Beame’s betrayal of his wife Mary Bourne sets a dark legacy in motion. The story unfolds with haunting precision, weaving fate and vengeance across generations, all anchored in a single, unbreakable vow. Cover by Jerry Bingham and Dick Giordano captures the grim weight of that promise.
In "The Lazarus Pit!", Batman faces off against Lo Ling in a deadly showdown, tracking Ra's Al Ghul to Switzerland—only to discover the villain is already dead. But when Ra's is resurrected by the mysterious power of a Lazarus Pit, the balance of danger shifts in ways no one could predict.
In 1897, seaman Angus Beame marries Mary Bourne, not for love but for the inheritance tied to her father’s estate. When the will disappoints him, he abandons her, only to be cursed by Mary: he may never return to harbor until the day she dies. The story unfolds across decades, weaving fate and the sea, as the past lingers in the shadow of the Widow’s Walk.
