Robin #30

Robin stands tall in full costume, sword raised, one foot planted on a fallen purple-caped foe, while three striking women look on from the columned steps behind him — the cover by Mike Wieringo and Terry Austin carries a mythological grandeur that fits perfectly with the title "Iliads and Oddities." Chuck Dixon's script, brought to life by Frank Fosco and Stan Woch, promises the kind of globe-trotting, high-stakes adventure that made this solo series such a satisfying read in 1996. If you enjoy Tim Drake facing impossible odds with cool-headed determination, this issue looks like a fine place to be.
