Batman #19
In "Pantano Siniestro," Batman is drawn into a deadly game when Ra's Al Ghul commands him to track down Striss, a thief who's stolen a dangerous chemical formula—unknown to Striss, the compound holds a lethal secret. Written by Denny O'Neil and Henry Bridges, with art by Irv Novick and inks by Dick Giordano, this 1989 thriller blends espionage and suspense in a story where every clue could be a trap. The cover by Jerry Bingham and Dick Giordano captures the tension with a shadowed, foreboding image of Batman in the swamps of the title’s setting.
