Detective Comics #471 - Marshall Rogers art & cover + 1st Hugo Strange revival

Marshall Rogers

Detective Comics v1 #471 featuring Batman, 1977 - Seeking treatment for an injury, Bruce Wayne admits himself into an exclusive private clinic. Marshall Rogers' tight, angular drawings can be stiff at times, especially with Terry Austin's inks. In other ways, his graphic style results in very distinctive page and panel designs. The high point of the story is page 8 (see interior page below), with its free-form montage of nightmarish imagery. Just as engaging is Rogers' cover, viewing the Batman through the villain's elastic disguise. Speaking of which, Hugo Strange makes his first re-appearance since the golden age. This story was later reprinted in Shadow of the Batman #2 and Batman Strange Apparitions trade paperback. This is 4 of 13 Detective Comics issues by Rogers. /// key 1st revival Hugo Strange / Rogers gallery
