Batman: Shadow of the Bat #70

This January 1998 issue of Batman: Shadow of the Bat pulls together the Dark Knight and a bloodied young man in a "Magic" T-shirt as they face down a charging skeletal horseman and a horde of armored riders — with a colossal spectral face looming ominously in the blue-lit background. The cover by Chris Moeller captures a wonderfully eerie supernatural siege, perfectly suited to the "Gothamageddon?" chapter of the "Spirit of 2000" storyline. With Alan Grant writing and Mark Buckingham and Wayne Faucher on interior art, this team delivers a Fate-featuring adventure that blends Gotham grit with something far more otherworldly.
