The Brave and the Bold #184

A snow-dusted graveyard sets an unsettling Yuletide stage on this 1982 DC team-up, where Jim Aparo's cover shows a defiant Batman standing before Thomas Wayne's headstone while the Huntress crouches nearby and a menacing speech balloon declares both his parents deserved to die — and that Batman must follow. The title "The Batman's Last Christmas!" promises a darker holiday story than most, and Aparo's sharp linework gives the whole scene a tense, wintry atmosphere that's hard to look away from.
