Detective Comics #804

A villain in a white pressure suit and red goggles dominates this May 2005 cover, arms raised triumphantly — gun in one hand, a bouquet of red roses in the other — while a terrified bystander cowers at his side and a crowd of panicked Gotham citizens fills the ghostly blue background. David Lapham's cover work gives the image a genuinely unsettling tension, pairing the cheerful flowers with cold menace in a way that suits the story's sardonic title, "City of Crime, Part 4: All You Need is Love Love Love Love Love Love." This issue also features a backup story, "The Barker," written by Mike Carey with art by John Lucas — solid added value in a single package.
