Batman and the Outsiders #6

Jim Aparo's cover for this January 1984 issue sweeps you into a frozen battlefield where Batman and the full Outsiders roster — Geo-Force, Black Lightning, Metamorpho, Katana, and Halo — are scattered across an icy landscape, converging on a heavily armored, blue-suited figure announced as the Cryonic Man. The swirling ice and dynamic positioning of every team member give the scene a real sense of momentum and scale. Mike W. Barr and Aparo were clearly building toward something chilling with this sixth chapter of their DC series.
