Batman Adventures #17

Batman cuts a striking silhouette against an enormous full moon as bats swirl through a deep crimson Gotham sky — it's a moody, atmospheric cover that perfectly captures the Dark Knight's brooding watch over the city's rooftops. The tagline "Last Chance!" adds a real sense of urgency, making this 2004 installment of Batman Adventures hard to pass up. With cover art by Kelsey Shannon and the interior story "Fear Itself" brought to life by Ty Templeton and Rick Burchett, this issue delivers that sharp, animated-style storytelling the series does so well.
