Batgirl #18

From September 2001, Batgirl #18 delivers a striking cover by Damion Scott and Robert Campanella, featuring a monstrous gargoyle-like creature looming at the center while Robin scrambles on the left and Batgirl clings to the right in her sleek dark costume. The composition — all swooping diagonals and moody purple-and-yellow atmosphere — captures that distinctive energy Scott brought to this series. With Kelley Puckett scripting, this is a solid entry in one of DC's more compelling street-level titles of the early 2000s.
