Comments:
Harvey's ex-wife is named Grace in this story. In the pre-Crisis universe her first name was Gilda.
Synopsis:
Steve Jones interviews Grace Dent, the former wife of Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face. Grace tells the story of Harvey's past including his rise to the district attorney's office, his involvement with Batman, and the horrible tragedy that left his face and mind scarred forever. She explains that Two-Face is still Harvey.
She tells of how Dalton Perry, a felon convicted during Harvey's time as district attorney, was recently released from prison. He wanted revenge on Harvey and kidnapped Grace in her own home. Harvey came to her rescue, but after beating Perry, he left again, because his mind was still scarred.
