Nightwing #8

Against a backdrop of vivid stained glass, Nightwing dominates this May 1997 cover, his fists clenched as he looms over a snarling, wild-haired opponent who looks worse for wear. Scott McDaniel and Karl Story bring a real sense of raw, kinetic tension to the confrontation — Nightwing's body language radiates grim determination rather than flashy heroics. "The Bigger They Are" is a title that speaks for itself, and this cover makes a confident visual argument that Dick Grayson is more than ready to back it up.
