Detective Comics #876

Jock's cover for Detective Comics #876 frames Batman crouching inside what appears to be the massive, gaping jaws of some enormous creature — rows of jagged teeth surrounding him on all sides as he stares out with unmistakable intensity. It's a genuinely unsettling image that captures the suffocating danger of Scott Snyder's "Hungry City" arc right from the start. With Jock handling both writing-partner duties on art and cover work alongside Snyder's writing, this 2011 chapter has a moody, predatory atmosphere that pulls you straight in.
