“The Bomb”

Scott Hampton's cover for Detective Comics #638 captures Batman mid-stride against a billowing cloud of smoke and debris, his cape sweeping dramatically as he hauls an incapacitated figure along the ground — all urgency and grim purpose. It's a fittingly tense visual for a story called "The Bomb," with writer Peter Milligan and artist Jim Aparo bringing the heat inside. A solid November 1991 entry in one of DC's longest-running titles.
