Azrael Annual #2

Part of DC's 1996 "Legends of the Dead Earth" annual event, this issue sends Azrael crashing through a stone wall in full white-and-red armored regalia, flames blazing from his head, bats scattering in his wake — while a dark, spider-web-shrouded figure looms ominously in the crimson background. Barry Kitson and James Pascoe deliver a cover that crackles with kinetic energy, capturing the character's fierce, angelic ferocity in striking fashion. With Dennis O'Neil scripting "Night's Fall," this is a compelling snapshot of one of DC's most distinctive vigilantes pushed into uncharted, post-apocalyptic territory.
