Batman: The Dark Knight #23.3

Part of DC's 2013 New 52 Villains Month event, this issue spotlights Clayface in all his monstrous glory — and Guillem March's cover delivers, showing the hulking, spiked clay behemoth looming over a chained, cloaked figure with terrifying menace. The raw physicality of the creature, all jagged teeth and glowing eyes, makes an immediate impression against the gritty industrial backdrop. John Layman scripts and Cliff Richards illustrates what promises to be a compelling look at one of Gotham's most unsettling rogues.
