Batman #551 1997

Batman #551, published by DC in February 1998, features "Suit of Evil Souls," part one of a two-part storyline. Batman investigates a series of hate crimes in Gotham City's ghettos, leading him to confront Ragman. The issue sees Ragman struggling to control his Suit of Souls, which acts independently and violently. This issue is notable for collectors as it marks Ragman's guest-starring appearance, continuing his post-Crisis mystical origin tied to Jewish legend, and explores the moral complexities of his powers.
