The Vigilante #20

In "A Dream That Just Won't Die...", former vigilante Adrian grapples with the lingering shadows of his past as a new judge, haunted by dreams that blur into reality when the Vigilante resurfaces—this time with a violent, relentless crusade against criminals. As Marcia tries to ground him in the present, Nightwing arrives to confront the masked figure, only to face a chilling reminder of what once was. Written by Marv Wolfman and Paul Kupperberg, with art by Tod Smith and inks by Rick Magyar, this 1985 DC issue captures a haunting psychological tension, all rendered in Tatjana Wood’s vivid colors and John Costanza’s sharp lettering, with a cover by Smith and Magyar that mirrors the story’s unease.
