Poor disallusioned Clayface
This issue of Detective comics is still one of my favorites that was at the end of Marshall Rogers run on the book.Part 2 of a 2 part story by Len Wein. Our hero is in jeopardy of being turned into protoplasm at the beginning of this issue and the Batman is as always to get out of this particular jam. Marshall is one of my favorite artists and he really delivers here. Some of the panels are just amazing . As Clayface escapes Batman ,he carjacks a couple and tries to console the screaming and hysterical wife after he has melted her husband into protoplasm explaining that the fever is not upon him anymore . Gordon has set up a road block on Gotham Narrows Bridge but Clayface manages to elude them and Batman once moreby diving into the river.Len Wein plays up the human side of Clayface or whats left of it and makes us readers actually feel for his plight to hold on to his humanity as Batman tries to bring to justice at its climatic end back at the wax museum, where the Clayface felt the most human talking to his love Helena a wax figure.
