Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #111

The conclusion to "The Primal Riddle" arrives in this October 1998 issue of Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, with a cover by Jason Pearson that crackles with stylized energy. In the foreground, a gleefully menacing Riddler — green suit, question-mark goggles, gun blazing with golden light — has a hapless suited man by the throat, while a furious Batman looms large through a shattering mirror behind them. Steve Englehart, Dusty Abell, and Drew Geraci bring the story arc home, and Pearson's cartoony yet dynamic cover sets the tension perfectly.
