Robin #41

The cover tagline says it all — "Maybe he should've stayed home and studied…" — as Robin finds himself outnumbered and taking hits from multiple armed attackers at once, with a purple-clad figure looming menacingly in the background above the brawl. Mike Wieringo's pencils and Terry Austin's inks give the chaos a kinetic, almost breathless energy that captures just how rough a night the Boy Wonder is having. With Chuck Dixon writing and Staz Johnson on interior art, issue #41 of this 1997 solo series promises the kind of street-level action that made Robin a standout title in DC's lineup.
