Batgirl #49

Batgirl #49 arrives in April 2004 with a haunting James Jean cover that frames Cassandra Cain's costumed figure inside what appears to be a glass display case, lit from above like a museum exhibit — a quietly unsettling image underscored by the words "The End of Everything." A smaller display case in the corner holds what looks like a Robin costume, amplifying the sense of legacy and loss rendered in Jean's moody, painterly style. With Dylan Horrocks writing and Rick Leonardi penciling, this is a visually striking chapter in Cassandra's run that promises some serious emotional weight.
