Comment(s):
- Story continued from the previous issue.
- The folk-tale being retold in this story was written by Russian author Alexander Nikolaevich Afanasyev and translated into english by British author Leonard Arthur Magnus. The story is mistakenly titled "The Animals and the Pit" in this story instead of "The Animals in the Pit."
Solicitation:
- The KGBeast isn’t working alone. As the Cold War between Batman and the Russian killer heats up, Batman's nose for mystery gets to twitching when he suspects there's more to the KGBeast's attacks than initially thought. Not only does this tie back to the court case Bruce Wayne sat on involving Mr. Freeze, there's another villainous Gotham ghoul in play—but whom?
