Legends of the Dark Knight #24

Batman leaps onto the back of a heavily armored, clawed figure soaring above a city skyline, cape billowing against a full moon while a swarm of giant bats fills the night sky — it's a striking cover from Gil Kane that immediately signals something airborne and dangerous. This November 1991 issue kicks off "Flyer," a three-part story written by Howard Chaykin and Gil Kane, with Kane also handling the pencils and inks for that kinetic, mid-air confrontation. If the cover's sense of velocity and strangeness is any indication, this arc has plenty of wild momentum in store.
