Azrael: Agent of the Bat #60

Set against the chaos of Gotham's No Man's Land, this January 2000 issue delivers a cover that packs in a full rogues' gallery of trouble — a grinning Joker brandishes a gun while clutching a terrified hostage, his goons crowd the background, and Batgirl leaps into the fray from above, fist raised and ready. The cover's bold caption promises "Batgirl Meets the Joker!" with the cheeky aside that Azrael is along for the ride too, making this a surprisingly fun, action-packed street-level confrontation. Roger Robinson and James Pascoe bring real energy to the scene, capturing the dangerous unpredictability of Gotham's lawless era with sharp linework and a dynamic sense of motion.
