Owner's Description

One of my lifelong interests and academic pursuits has been medieval history so I can only imagine how happy I was when I saw this issue at my newsstand.

This cover simply drips with Neal Adams "goodness." For starters, the Batman is about that far from bidding adieu to this mortal coil (talk about action); and from the looks of it, does not have a Bat Out of Hell's chance of surviving (Yeah, right!).

The figures are, as typical of Adams, in full movement with no sign of "being posed." The placement of the knight on horseback at the left edge of the cover conveys the "out of nowhere" feeling that appears to be felt by the Batman owing to the dense fog that only revealed the knight "far too late." All in all, this is is one of my top three favorite Adams covers in his run on this title (can you tell?).

This book is a Keeper until I can locate a white paged CGC graded 9.8 copy with absolutely perfect cover alignment (the cover of this copy having a horrible miswrap).

Image #2 is of the same comic book, a place holder that will be replaced with a scan or photograph of the back cover of this book.
