Bat Lash #3
In "La fille de Bat Lash," Sgt. Mal Walker inherits more than just a pair of boots after his commander’s death—there’s a weight to the legacy, a quiet burden in the way they fit. Written by Howard Liss and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Fred Ray, this story explores what it means to step into someone else’s shoes, both literally and in spirit. The cover, a striking portrait by Nick Cardy, captures the moment of transition with a sense of quiet resolve.
