Showcase '94 #10

Issue ten of twelve in this 1994 anthology series, Showcase '94 #10 spotlights Azrael as part of DC's Zero Hour crossover event, alongside a Black Condor story. The cover — penciled by Joe Quesada and inked by Karl Kesel — is a striking image of Azrael's cracked and crumbling red helmet resting against the Batman symbol, crackling with electric energy as if something fundamental has just shattered. It's a quietly dramatic composition that perfectly frames the tension between Azrael's identity and the Batman legacy he's been entangled with throughout 1994.
