Batman and the Outsiders Annual #1

The tagline says it all — "It's 1984: Do You Know Where Your Freedoms Are?" — and this oversized annual plants that question squarely against a bold American flag backdrop. Cover pencils by Frank Miller and inks by Jim Aparo bring a group of costumed figures front and center: a yellow-and-green suited hero bearing a "GF" emblem leads the charge, flanked by a sword-wielding ninja, a glowing blonde woman, a figure in red-and-gold, and a pair of more sinister-looking characters lurking at the edges, all set against flickering flames. With a story titled "…Land Where Our Fathers Died…!" and a creative team that includes Mike W. Barr alongside artists Jerome Moore, Alex Saviuk, Jan Duursema, and Rick Hoberg, this 1984 annual promises the Outsiders tackling something with serious patriotic stakes.
