Batman: Shadow of the Bat #63

Two-Face stares into an ornate gilded mirror on this painted cover by Doug Beekman, his scarred and unscarred profiles facing each other in a deeply unsettling reflection — leaving the cover's own question hanging in the air: "…But which is the image, which the reality?" The pistol gripped in his hand makes the confrontation feel all the more charged, as if even he isn't sure which face is truly his own. Part two of "Janus," crafted by Alan Grant, Dave Taylor, and Stan Woch, promises a psychologically rich exploration of duality that this striking 1997 cover sets up beautifully.
