Part two of Peter Milligan's "The Idiot Root" finds Batman in serious trouble — the cover by Norm Breyfogle shows the Dark Knight swarmed and overpowered by a group of wild, frenzied attackers in a shadowy, jungle-like setting, their desperate energy spilling across every corner of the image. Silhouetted figures loom ominously in the background, deepening the sense that Batman is vastly outnumbered. Jim Aparo brings the interior to life in this 1991 DC entry that keeps the tension of this multi-part mystery firmly on the boil.
