“Hobson's Choice Legacy: Prelude”

The Huntress dominates this August 1996 cover, rendered with striking energy by Carl Critchlow — her crossbow raised, hair whipping in the wind as she leaps across Gotham's rooftops in her distinctive purple-and-black costume. Batman himself appears smaller in the background below her, his caped silhouette grounding the scene against a warm amber sky. Part of the "Legacy" crossover prelude, this issue from writer Alan Grant and artist Dave Taylor promises a story where these two very different heroes share the same dangerous night.
