Batman: Gotham Knights #36

Batman's dark silhouette looms behind a heavily tattooed, white-haired figure crouching in apparent distress, hands covering their face while two snakes coil nearby and a bloody hand lies ominously on the ground — it's a striking, unsettling image rendered with the meticulous linework Brian Bolland brings to every cover. This February 2003 issue of Batman: Gotham Knights presents part three of "Tabula Rasa," with Scott Beatty writing and Roger Robinson and John Floyd handling interior art. The issue also features a bonus Batman: Black + White + Red strip by Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey, making for a genuinely packed read.
