Batman Adventures series.
Illustrated by
Rick Burchett
&
Terry Beatty.
Incognito, Batman infiltrates the False Face Society in these brief, related stories. In Matches, Batgirl dons Batman's suit to protect his identity as they take down arsonist Firefly. In Phantasm, the titular villain captures Batgirl to bait "the rat" into revealing himself. One-liners (some of them groaners), dynamic pacing, and varied panel shapes are engaging. "Visual Questions & Prompts" are appended. Glos. Review covers these Batman Adventures titles: Phantasm Strikes! and Playing with Matches.
