Detective Comics #520 - Don Newton art

Detective Comics #520

Detective Comics v1 #520, 1982 - Haunted by the ghost of Hugo Strange, Boss Thorne hires Dr. Thirteen the ghostbreaker. Meanwhile, Batman unexpectedly breaks out Deadshot from prison. Don Newton was often paired with Alfredo Alcala on Batman stories, usually with unsatisfying results. This is the case here as well, as the original pencils lose their patina due to the heavy-handed inking. Newton's title page is marginally better than the cover, which shares the same identical scene. This issue also includes cover artwork by Gil Kane. Cover by Jim Aparo. This is 36 of 39 Detective Comics issues by Newton.
