Robin #53

Robin #53 brings the "Cataclysm" crossover to its conclusion, and the cover by Jason Johnson and Danny Miki captures the chaos perfectly — a determined Robin swings into action amid a crush of panicked civilians, sparks flying overhead while a crumbling, dust-red wall looms ominously on the left. The foreground is packed with desperate, bloodied figures pressing against each other, conveying the scale of Gotham's disaster in a single visceral image. Written by Chuck Dixon with art by Staz Johnson and Stan Woch, this 1998 issue promises an intense payoff to one of the era's most ambitious Batman-family storylines.
