Batman: Bane of the Demon #3

Part three of this four-part 1998 DC miniseries puts a dangerous woman front and center — a red-clad, dark-haired figure holds a smoking pistol with cool, unsettling confidence, set against a deep crimson backdrop and a stylized world map that hints at globe-spanning intrigue. Graham Nolan's pencils, finished with Bill Sienkiewicz's distinctive inks, give the cover a striking tension that feels both sleek and slightly noir. Chuck Dixon's script, brought to life by artist Graham Nolan and inker Tom Palmer, promises that Bane's world-threatening ambitions are far from cooling down.
