Man-Bat #1

Part one of three, "Gotham Skies" opens this 1996 DC miniseries with a cover that commands attention: Man-Bat lunges straight at the viewer with wings fully spread, fangs bared, and claws outstretched against a moonlit Gotham cityscape swarming with bats — and looming just below him, the shadowy silhouette of Batman himself. The cover pencils by Flint Henry and inks by Kevin Nowlan give the creature a raw, feral energy that feels genuinely unsettling. With Chuck Dixon writing and Flint Henry and Eduardo Barreto on interior art, this is a strong starting point for fans who've always felt Man-Bat deserved his own spotlight.
