“Savage Metal”

In "Savage Metal," the unpredictable Gearhead resurfaces with a new arsenal of mechanical horrors, turning Batman’s own tech against him in a high-stakes showdown that pits the Dark Knight against his most trusted machine—the Batmobile. Written by Chuck Dixon and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Graham Nolan, this 1998 issue delivers a tense, inventive clash where technology becomes the enemy, and the line between ally and weapon blurs. The cover, by Graham Nolan and Brian Stelfreeze, captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
