The Batman Adventures #27

Against a darkened Gotham skyline swarming with bats, Batman stands dominant over a downed, goggle-wearing opponent — a striking cover composition by penciller Mike Parobeck and inker Rick Burchett that captures the animated series' clean, expressive style perfectly. Writer Kelley Puckett's "Survivor Syndrome" promises the kind of taut, character-driven storytelling this creative team delivered so consistently in 1994. A confident pick from one of DC's most fondly remembered animated tie-in series.
