Robin #161

Robin #161 lands in June 2007 with a cover by Patrick Gleason and Christian Alamy that's genuinely unsettling — a glowing-eyed woman with crackling energy coursing across her skin dominates the foreground, her clawed hands gripping Robin's costume and mask as she hoists him like a trophy. The stark black background makes those burning orange eyes and the electric blue-and-gold energy pop with real menace, setting a tense, threatening tone for Adam Beechen and Freddie E. Williams II's "Little White Lies." If you like your Robin stories with a serious edge, this one announces its intentions loud and clear right on the cover.
