Batman: Gotham Adventures #56

The Riddler takes center stage on this January 2003 issue of Batman: Gotham Adventures, his green-suited figure pausing pensively beside a bold orange billboard that poses the teasing question: "When is the Riddler not the Riddler?" The animated-series style artwork — cover pencils by Bob Smith, inked by Terry Beatty — gives Edward Nygma a wonderfully expressive silhouette, his question-mark cane in hand and derby hat perched just so. With a story titled "Identity Theft," this issue promises a fun, riddle-wrapped mystery that fans of the all-ages Gotham Adventures run will find hard to resist.
