The Outsiders Annual #1
In "The Skull... The Serpent... and the Outsiders," Mike W. Barr and Kevin Nowlan deliver a taut, high-stakes thriller where the enigmatic Skull manipulates Kobra into stealing nuclear missiles, setting off a chain of events that brings Batman and the Outsiders into a deadly game of cat and mouse. With Nowlan’s striking art and Klein’s precise lettering, the annual crackles with tension as the team is captured and forced into a desperate gambit—only to face a final twist that leaves Kobra still at large.
