Batman Arkham: Clayface #[nn]
In "The Murders of Clayface," a 2017 DC story written by Len Wein and illustrated by Marshall Rogers with inks by Dick Giordano and colors by Glynis Wein, a desperate man’s attempt to cure his disfiguring condition spirals into horror when he uses blood from the late Matt Hagen, the second Clayface. The experiment turns him into a living threat, melting his victims into fluid form, and when Batman steps in to stop a crucial theft, he finds himself in the crosshairs of a new, terrifying Clayface. The cover, by Guillem March, captures the grotesque transformation in chilling detail.

Preston Payne uses blood from Matt Hagen, the second Clayface, to try to change the effects of hyperpituitarism on his appearance. But the "cure" causes Payne's flesh to melt like wax and forces him to periodically dissolve others into protoplasm. When Batman interferes with Payne's theft of the components necessary to reverse his condition, he may become Clayface's next victim.
