Batman #244 - Neal Adams art & cover

Neal Adams

Batman v1 #244, 1972 - Ras Al Ghul stands victorious over the Batman on this breathtaking Neal Adams cover. The opening splash page is fairly quiet but the action ramps up quickly. Continuing the storyline from the previous issue, the antagonist unexpectedly attacks the Batman's team of civilians, quickly dispatching them. Adams again shows his skill in depicting exotic settings, shifting midstream from the Swiss Alps to a Middle Eastern desert. The final duel between Batman and Ras is relatively short, followed by a beautifully drawn concluding sequence. This story was later reprinted in Saga of Ra's Al Ghul #4 and Limited Collectors' Edition #C-51. Other artists in this issue include Irv Novick.
