Batman: Strange Apparitions #[nn]

In *Batman: Strange Apparitions #nn*, a desperate man's attempt to reverse his disfiguring condition spirals into something far more monstrous. When Preston Payne uses blood from the second Clayface to alter his own body, the experiment goes horrifically wrong—turning him into a being of shifting, melting flesh with a chilling new hunger. With Batman stepping in to stop Payne’s dangerous quest for a cure, the Dark Knight finds himself face-to-face with a foe whose very form defies control. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with haunting precision by Marshall Rogers—whose art, both interior and on the cover by Terry Austin, captures the eerie, grotesque beauty of the story—this 2000 issue delivers a chilling, body-horror-infused tale that lingers long after the final page.
