Mad Batman Spectacular #[nn]
In the bizarre "Battyman," Gotham City's latest civic hero, the Penicillin, hides a rotten core as Saltina uncovers his corruption—only to be pushed from a window and reborn as Scatwoman, a feline-powered vigilante with a taste for vengeance. With her dual identity clashing with her growing bond to Buttman, the line between hero and antihero blurs as chaos unfolds in a story written by Stan Hart and illustrated by Mort Drucker, with a wild cover by Sam Viviano.
