Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams #1

The cover by Neal Adams says it all — Batman lunges forward in a powerful crouch, his blue cape sweeping dramatically behind him, yellow utility belt gleaming against the dark costume, every muscle coiled with intent. This 2003 hardcover collection spotlights Adams's celebrated run, opening with Leo Dorfman's story "The Superman-Batman Revenge Squads!" with inks by Adams and Dick Giordano and coloring by Continuity Associates, Rob Ro, and Alex Bleyaert. For fans of the Dark Knight rendered at his most athletically dynamic, this volume is a genuine treat.
