Batman #279

A mid-1970s DC treat, this September 1976 issue of Batman spotlights a trio of fan favorites right on the cover: Batman swoops in from above while Robin grapples with the Riddler — clad in his signature green question-mark costume — against a backdrop of Egyptian sarcophagi and artifacts. Robin's bold declaration, "Don't worry, Batman — I've nabbed the Riddler!", sets an energetic, adventurous tone that perfectly captures the era's dynamic superhero storytelling. Ernie Chua's cover pencils and inks bring a confident, kinetic energy to the scene that makes "Riddler on the Rampage" a thoroughly appealing snapshot of Bronze Age Batman.
