Tales of the Batman: Steve Englehart #[nn]
In "Night of the Stalker!", Bruce Wayne seeks recovery at the exclusive Graytowers hospital after a battle with Dr. Phosphorus, only to find the facility harboring a far more sinister agenda. As Hugo Strange manipulates patients into obedient servants, Batman's cover is nearly blown when a venomous snake attack leaves him vulnerable—exposing his true identity to the mastermind behind the scheme. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated with chilling precision by Marshall Rogers, with inks by Terry Austin and colors by Rogers himself, this tale blends psychological tension with classic Batman intrigue. The cover, a collaborative effort by José Luis García-López, Javier Pulido, and Trevor Von Eeden, captures the dread of the moment with haunting detail.
