The Batman Strikes #14

The Batman Strikes! #14 puts the Dark Knight in a desperate struggle against Clayface, and the cover captures that threat vividly — Batman is caught mid-grapple as the shape-shifting villain's massive clay form surges around him, even splitting into multiple eerie faces and limbs that seem to swallow the hero whole. The bold tagline "The Man. The Myth. The Monster." sets the tone perfectly for a villain who is all three at once. Tied into the hit Kids' WB animated series and featuring Dave McCaig's dynamic cover work, this 2005 issue is a fun, action-packed read for fans of The Batman in any form.
