Batman #12
In "Le démon renaît...", Batman confronts a chilling echo of his past when the mysterious Épine encounters a woman who bears a striking resemblance to him—clad in a replica of his own costume and weapons, crafted decades earlier by Albert Talbot, a costume shop owner who once designed them for the woman’s mother, a criminal long thought gone. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life by Rich Buckler’s dynamic art with Mike Esposito’s inks, this 1973 issue from Interpresse delivers a haunting, grounded mystery rooted in forgotten history and the unsettling weight of legacy.
