Batman and the Outsiders #14

Set against the backdrop of the 1984 Summer Olympics, this issue finds Batman and the Outsiders caught in a fiery crisis as the Olympic rings themselves become a battleground. Jim Aparo's cover depicts a wild-eyed, grimacing figure clutching a golden Olympic shield while the team — including Batman, a golden-clad hero bearing a "GF" emblem, and several teammates — struggle amid flames and chaos, with a long serpentine tendril coiling across the scene and the ominous tag line "The Wrath of Zeus!" promising mythological mayhem. Mike W. Barr and Bill Willingham bring a timely real-world setting to this superhero team title, making issue #14 a vivid snapshot of DC's most unconventional team at their action-packed best.
