Batman Black & White #5

Lee Weeks' cover for this fifth installment says everything in pure monochrome: Batman swoops directly toward the viewer, cape spread wide against a full moon, with Gotham's jagged skyline silhouetted beneath him — a beautifully spare image that captures exactly what this anthology series is all about. Inside, Jorge Jiménez pulls triple duty as writer, artist, and inker on "A Father & Son Outing," bringing a personal creative vision to the Dark Knight. At $5.99, this 2021 entry in Batman Black & White continues to prove that stripping away color only sharpens the drama.
