Batman #432

Batman #432 brings a fiery April 1989 showdown to life, with the Dark Knight delivering a powerful punch to a red-haired opponent amid a blazing, smoke-filled backdrop — while armed figures below look on with guns drawn. The cover tagline "And if he gets past the F.B.I….?" sets up a tense cat-and-mouse dynamic that writer James Owsley and the interior art team of Jim Aparo and Mike DeCarlo are well-positioned to explore in "Dead Letter Office." Cover pencils by Mark Bright and inks by Steve Mitchell give the scene a kinetic, hard-hitting energy that's difficult to look away from.
