Doug Moench, is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight and Deathlok. Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies; he has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters, such as Moon Knight. In 1973, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk (continuing on the title when it changed its name to The Hulk!) and Doc Savage, while also serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence. Moench is perhaps best known for his work on Batman, whose title he wrote from 1983–1986 and then again from 1992–1998. (He also wrote the companion title Detective Comics from 1983–1986.)
Moench is a frequent and longtime collaborator with comics artist Paul Gulacy. The pair are probably best known for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu, which they worked on together from 1974–1977. They also co-created Six from Sirius, Slash Maraud, and S.C.I. Spy, and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.
Moench has frequently been paired with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.
El primer és el final de la història en tres parts “The God of Fear”, amb guió d’Alan Grant i dibuix de Bret Blevins. L’Espantaocells s’enfronta a Batman (Jean-Paul Vallet) alhora que rememora els seus orígens. Història amb cert interès, però dibuix irregular. 3,5*
A continuació ve un grup d'històries que composen l'arc argumental de "El ángel caído", en què Jean-Paul Valley, que substitueix al Batman original, es va tornant cada dia més perillós i violent, alhora que s'obsessiona amb enfrontar-se amb Bane. Doug Moench du el guió, acompanyat de diferents dibuixants, entre els que destaca Jim Aparo. 3,5*
Lamentable l’edició del volum, on no s’indiquen els autors d’algunes històries (cosa habitual, per desgràcia en aquest tipus de coleccionables).
