Robin #29

This May 1996 issue puts Tim Drake in genuine peril right on the cover — a massive green-gloved hand presses a razor-sharp blade against Robin's throat while he grits his teeth in fierce defiance, his classic red-and-green costume filling the frame in an extreme close-up that feels uncomfortably intense. Cover pencils by Mike Wieringo and inks by Terry Austin give the scene a dynamic, urgent energy that draws you in immediately. With Chuck Dixon writing and Frank Fosco on interior art, "Hit and Myths" promises the kind of street-level tension that made this era of Robin such a compelling read.
