Robin #137

This 2005 DC issue presents a genuinely unsettling cover by Pop Mhan: a battered, bloodied Robin slumps against a dark alley wall, clutching his wounds while a glowing blade strikes nearby — and looming behind him is a screaming, supernatural figure astride a fiery black horse rearing up from the shadows. The tagline "Death Rides a Black Horse!" makes the threat unmistakably clear, setting a foreboding tone that feels a world away from lighter superhero fare. With Bill Willingham writing and Giuseppe Camuncoli on interior art, Robin #137 looks to deliver something with real menace beneath its title character's green-and-red costume.
