Azrael: Agent of the Bat #55

Part of DC's 1999 "No Man's Land" crossover event, this issue — subtitled "Last Dance!" on the cover — brings explosive energy to Azrael: Agent of the Bat #55. Roger Robinson and James Pascoe's cover depicts Azrael in his distinctive blue and red costume squaring off against a skull-masked villain in green, with a dark silhouetted figure caught between them amid a burst of crackling energy. Writer Dennis O'Neil keeps the tension high as Gotham's devastated landscape provides the backdrop for this confrontation, framed by barbed wire and bold "No Man's Land" branding that signals just how dire things have become.
