Batman #278

Batman stands at the center of a chaotic crime scene on the cover of this 1976 DC thriller, surrounded by several fallen or reeling victims as the ominous caption declares "The Wringer Has Struck Again!" The Dynamic Detective looms large against a darkened urban backdrop while the chilling tagline — "Who Will Be His Next Victim?" — sets a genuinely unsettling tone for the "Nightmare Novel" within. Ernie Chua's cover art captures a striking sense of urgency, with bodies scattered and danger crackling in every corner of the frame.
