Detective Comics #278
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA towering, wild-eyed giant named Steve hurls a massive boulder at Batman and Robin in this striking 1960 DC cover by Sheldon Moldoff. Robin pleads with the rampaging figure — "Steve, don't! Batman and I are your friends!" — while Batman looks on, grimly noting that Steve has "gone berserk." It's a wonderfully charged Silver Age setup, with the looming giant silhouetted against a glowing yellow moon, perfectly capturing the era's taste for larger-than-life menace.
