Detective Comics #425 - Bernie Wrightson cover

Detective Comics #425, 1972 - Bernie Wrightson’s cover successfully combines the horror and superhero genres, a common occurrence on bronze age Batman issues. The artist illustrates the hero attempting to stop a demonic carriage and rider in his own uniquely eerie style. Sadly, the design is overcrowded with text, which happened on several Detective issues from the same period. Still, the artwork itself is impressive and representative of Wrightson's best 1970s efforts. This artist would shortly thereafter illustrate his first full Batman story in Swamp Thing #7. This is 1 of 2 Detective Comics covers by Wrightson. See today's posts or more Wrightson or Detective Comics issues.
