Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #139

Batman is crucified scarecrow-style on a wooden post in a cornfield at sunset, black ravens perched on his outstretched arms while human skulls litter the ground at his feet — and a straw-hatted Scarecrow figure looms ominously in the background among the stalks. This striking cover by Paul Gulacy and Jimmy Palmiotti perfectly frames "Terror Part III: Greatest Fear," the third chapter of a five-part arc crafted by Moench, Gulacy, and Palmiotti. If you enjoy Batman pushed to his psychological limits, this 2001 Legends of the Dark Knight installment has an atmosphere that's genuinely hard to shake.
