A key modern Batman issue, Batman #386 (1985) features the first appearance of Black Mask (Roman Sionis), one of Gotham City’s most dangerous crime bosses.

Written by Doug Moench with artwork by Tom Mandrake, the issue introduces the villain who would become a major figure in Gotham’s criminal underworld and appear in numerous Batman storylines, animated series, and live-action adaptations.

The cover features a dramatic portrait-style design highlighting Batman against a collage of Gotham’s villains.

Because of Black Mask’s lasting role in the Batman universe, this issue remains one of the key Batman books of the mid-1980s.

This CGC 9.6 White Pages copy offers collectors a high-grade example of this important villain debut.
