Robin: Year One #4

The fourth and final chapter of Robin: Year One closes out this 2001 DC miniseries with a cover that radiates confident, clean energy — Robin lunges forward with a bo staff raised, his cape swept dramatically behind him, while a looming Batman symbol and a crowd of masked, armed adversaries fill the shadowy background. Javier Pulido and Robert Campanella's cover design is bold and graphic, placing the Boy Wonder front and center as someone who has genuinely earned his place in the fight. It's a satisfying visual coda to Chuck Dixon and Scott Beatty's look at the early days of Gotham's most famous sidekick.
