The Batman Adventures #23

Poison Ivy wraps her green arms around a visibly tense Batman in a lush, vine-draped jungle setting — and that cover by Mike Parobeck and Rick Burchett says everything you need to know about the unsettling dynamic at the heart of "Toxic Shock." The animated-series style artwork is at its most expressive here, capturing both Ivy's dangerous allure and Batman's guarded stoicism in one elegantly composed image. Kelley Puckett, Mike Parobeck, and Rick Burchett deliver another sharp entry in this beloved 1994 series that perfectly complemented the tone of the animated show.
