Clayface III!” by Wein, Rogers and Dick Giordano, colours by Glynis Oliver. Batman, still raw from the Silver St. Cloud break-up, hammers aquarium thieves. Henry Matlock is found melted, “Forgive me” in clay on the wall. At the wax museum a hooded man dines with a mannequin and tells his origin: hyperpituitarism, a failed “cure” using Matt Hagen’s blood, flesh that runs like wax, a need to dissolve other people to ease the fever. He is after S.T.A.R. Labs parts to reverse it. Batman gets in the way and may be next.
