Robin: Year One #2

Two-Face dominates this cover with a smug thumbs-up, his split suit perfectly embodying the duality that makes him one of Gotham's most compelling villains — while a determined Robin and an urgent Batman flank him in warm silhouette, hinting at the high stakes facing the Boy Wonder in this early chapter of his career. Written by Chuck Dixon and Scott Beatty with art by Javier Pulido and inks by Robert Campanella, Robin: Year One #2 offers a stylish, retro-noir aesthetic that feels fresh and purposeful. The second of four issues, this 2001 DC series takes a close look at what it truly cost Dick Grayson to earn his place alongside the Dark Knight.
