Detective Comics #643 1992

Detective Comics #643 features "The Library of Souls," a Peter Milligan-penned tale where Batman investigates a series of bizarre murders. Exhumed skeletons are found across Gotham, each wearing a jacket with a Dewey Decimal number. Batman's investigation uncovers a deranged former librarian creating a macabre "library of the dead." This issue is a highlight of Milligan's critically regarded run, showcasing Batman's detective skills against a unique, unsettling foe. This specific variant is notable to collectors as an error edition, mistakenly crediting Mark Badger on the cover despite Jim Aparo's interior artwork.
