Description
The shadow of Batman's archfoe Ra's al Ghul still looms large over the head of the Dark Knight. Is Ra's al Ghul destined to live again? Batman begins his quest for the truth in this special prelude to "The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul," guest-starring Talia al Ghul, Damian, the Sensei and I-Ching!

This is the original art variant cover to Batman #670 drawn by Tony Daniel (= Antonio Salvador Daniel).

I've always loved the Batman vs. Ra's al Ghul stories, to me these are some of the best Batman stories ever made, and I just found this cover to help me remember those great stories. Furthermore I'm a great fan of Tony Daniel, so I'm thrilled to own this cover!

PS. And here is a more elaborate intro to Mr. Ghul, thanks Wikipedia:

"Ra's al Ghul (Arabic: رأس الغول‎ Raʾs al-Ġūl; "Demon's Head") is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of Batman. Created by writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Neal Adams, the character first appeared in Batman #232's "Daughter of the Demon" (June 1971). Ra's al Ghul is one of Batman's greatest enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery. Besides being one of Batman's most prominent foes, Ra's al Ghul's high status as a supervillain has caused him to come into conflict with Superman and other heroes in the DC Universe.
Ra's al Ghul is the son of Sensei, the father of Talia al Ghul, Nyssa Raatko, and Dusan al Ghul, and the grandfather of Damian Wayne. His name in Arabic has been translated in the comics as "The Demon's Head"."

Yes, Mr. Ghul does have some sort of magic in his eyes I suppose. If he did eyeball me like that I too would find it very hard not to look back! ;-)
