Batman and the Outsiders Annual #2

This 1985 DC annual brings the full Outsiders roster together on a striking Jim Aparo cover: Batman stands imposingly at center, flanked by Black Lightning, Katana, Halo (radiating her signature energy aura), and Geo-Force, while a large, distressed figure cradles a fallen woman in white as a speech bubble simply reads "Sapphire…" — suggesting real emotional stakes ahead. Writer Mike W. Barr and artist David Ross team up for "Dissembler at the Wedding," a title that hints at deception lurking beneath a seemingly joyous occasion. At $1.25, this oversized annual delivers the full scope and ensemble energy that made Batman and the Outsiders one of DC's most distinctive team books of the mid-1980s.
