Batman Vampire #[nn]

Against a blood-red sky swarming with bats, Kelley Jones renders a looming, shadowy Batman with an almost monstrous silhouette — claws outstretched and cape billowing — while a seemingly lifeless figure lies draped at his feet. This 2016 Urban Comics collection brings together Doug Moench and Kelley Jones's darkly atmospheric take on the Dark Knight, where the gothic horror aesthetic is pushed to its absolute limit. Jones's cover art alone, all jagged edges and brooding menace, signals that this is Batman at his most unsettling and creature-of-the-night compelling.
