Batman #454

The concluding chapter of Peter Milligan's "Dark Knight, Dark City" trilogy arrives with a Mike Mignola and George Pratt cover that sets an immediately unsettling tone: Batman advances through shadow while the Riddler — resplendent in his question-mark suit — stands dangerously close to a massive, looming demonic creature rendered in Mignola's distinctively ominous style. With interior art by Kieron Dwyer and inks by Dennis Janke, this September 1990 issue promises a dark, atmospheric payoff to one of the era's more genuinely eerie Batman storylines.
