Here's Mud in Your Eye...and Everywhere Else - MudPack vs Batman

The four faces of clay team up to take on the Batman!
Basil Karlo - Clayface I, Matthew Hagen - Clayface II, Preston Payne - Clayface III and Lady Clayface - Sondra Fuller.

Basil has recruited his fellow Clayfaces in a mad scheme of revenge and power!
Revenge against Batman.
But mostly just power for Basil!
Power that is turned against him.
Looker to the Rescue.

Even through all the madness, some are able to find love.
The End.

Norm Breyfolge has to be one of my favorite Batman artists. He has such a distinct style, his art tells the story on its own.
The loss of his parents. The crippling of Barbara Gordon. You can feel the torture and torment Batman must be going through.



Detective Comics #604-607 1989
