Kelley Jones — Wrath Of The Wraith
Batman #541, April 1997
Batman and Spectre in the same issue with Kelley Jones on pencils? You KNOW some weirdness is most definitely in store.
Sign me up.
Jones (with writer Doug Moench of course) channels some of the classic sadistically vengeful Fleisher and Aparo Spectre in this issue — the second part of a two-part story. This wraith is not fooling around. (You can see why the infamous Comics Code Authority was completely meaningless at this point.)
And let’s just say Batman and Spectre disagree about a few things. Like capital punishment. And eternal Hell. Those sorts of things.
Terrific art team (John Beatty on inks), terrific page. Overall, a great run of Batman.
Nuff said.
