“And Hellgrammite Is His Name!”

This November 1968 team-up pairs Batman and the Creeper against a genuinely unsettling threat, with Neal Adams's cover showing the massive, insectoid Hellgrammite overpowering both heroes atop what appears to be a skylight or rooftop frame — Batman reeling backward while a red-haired figure flees through the glass below. Adams's dynamic figure work gives the green, chitinous villain a visceral physicality that makes the danger feel immediate and real. It's a striking showcase for one of DC's most visually bold team-up titles of the era.
