Batman #231

From Neal Adams comes one of the most arresting Batman covers of 1971 — a massive hand fills the frame, each fingertip bearing a tiny glowing image of Batman's cowled face, while the gun-wielding figure behind it declares, "I've got Batman dead in my sights!" The unsettling visual of a man who literally sees through his fingers makes this issue of Batman with Robin the Teen Wonder genuinely hard to put down before you've even opened it. Writer Mike Friedrich and interior artist Irv Novick (inked by Dick Giordano) bring the story of "Blind Rage of the Ten-Eyed Man!" to life behind one of Adams's most inventively eerie covers of the era.
