Batman: Gotham Knights #41

Kamajian's cover for this July 2003 issue sets an immediately unsettling tone — a looming Batman stares down from the shadows while a glowing syringe is thrust toward the viewer in the foreground, the tagline "The Killer Rush!" leaving little doubt that something dangerous is at stake. It's a moody, low-angle composition that showcases Gotham Knights' knack for atmospheric dread. The issue also includes a Batman: Black + White story by Ed Brubaker and Ryan Sook, making this a particularly full package for fans of the Dark Knight.
