Batgirl #2

Batgirl stands front and center on this striking May 2000 cover, silently thrusting forward a note scrawled in blood-red letters: "PLEASE HELP ME NOT TO DIE." The image is quietly unsettling — her cowled face is unreadable, her yellow utility belt catching the only real warmth in an otherwise dark composition, and the contrast between her composed stance and that desperate message is genuinely arresting. Cover art by Damion Scott and Robert Campanella sets a tense, atmospheric tone for this second chapter from writers Scott Peterson and Kelley Puckett.
