Bat-Thing #1

From the wild imagination of Amalgam Comics comes Bat-Thing #1, the June 1997 one-shot that dares you not to look twice. The cover by Rodolfo Damaggio and Bill Sienkiewicz plunges readers into a vertiginous urban scene: a green, bat-winged creature with fangs bared swoops over a rain-slicked cityscape while a blonde woman in a black bodysuit falls — or leaps — through the air below it, a burning motorcycle visible on the street far beneath them. Writer Larry Hama promises "The Shocker You Never Expected to See," and with Damaggio's dynamic figure work and Sienkiewicz's atmospheric inks setting the tone, this Amalgam mashup looks like one seriously wild ride.
