Batman: Shadow of the Bat #24

Part of the sweeping 1994 "KnightQuest: The Crusade" crossover, this installment of Batman: Shadow of the Bat presents a striking cover by Brian Stelfreeze — a darkly armored Batman cradling a frightened young boy in his clawed gauntlet, while the haunted faces of other children peer up from the shadows below. Alan Grant and Vince Giarrano bring "The Immigrant: Rosemary's Baby" to life, a title that immediately signals something urgent and deeply human at the heart of the story. It's a quietly powerful package that reminds readers why this series consistently delivered some of Gotham's most compelling street-level drama.
