Robin #112

Robin #112 splits its cover into three vivid panels, each teasing a different threat waiting inside: a mysterious woman in a wide-brimmed hat wielding a staff (labeled "A Ghost"), Robin himself leaping through an eruption of gunfire and shattering glass amid a blaze of flames ("Guns"), and a purple-clad, question-mark-wielding figure crouching in shadow ("And a Riddle"). Pete Woods and Andrew Pepoy pack an impressive amount of energy and intrigue into that triptych layout, making this 2003 issue feel like a genuine thriller with several dangers converging at once. "The Wrong Town Part 1" promises exactly the kind of tangled adventure that keeps Tim Drake's solo series consistently entertaining.
