Batman Beyond #6

The cover of Batman Beyond #6 (2000) sets a thrillingly primal scene: Terry McGinnis's sleek black-and-red Batman stands his ground against a massive, tusked creature while a sword-wielding warrior — The Stalker — commands the beast from above, with the tagline "The Stalker… and His Prey!" leaving little doubt about who the quarry is. It's a striking visual showdown rendered with clean, animated-series energy by cover penciler Bob Smith and inker Terry Beatty. Hilary J. Bader's story, "Most Dangerous Island," promises exactly the kind of high-stakes hunt this cover delivers.
