Description
Nothing beats Neal Adams doing Batman. Adams revolutionized the way comics were drawn, bringing a new kind of realism to the comics, influenced by photography. In this cover, the scene is framed from above, the way a cinematographer might frame it. Note how the high angle and the foreshortening heighten the drama of Batman's plight. It's a terrific example of Adams' work.

Batman's life hanging on a thread... How many comics did I buy thanks to the amazing powers of Neal Adams? And, yes, most of the time, he did only the cover, but the cover alone was worth the price! Pure energy!

Such a cool perspective. Neal was always so good at experimenting with different perspectives that you didn't often see in comics, particularly in covers. Great cover!!

And this kids, is why you should never visit a prison unescorted. Because if the inmates can do tihs to the Batman, just imagine what they can do to you LOL!  All jokes aside, everything Adams touched has a sense of realism that just draws you in. Again, one Adams cover - amazing; two Adams covers - just incredible.  Congrats on sleuthing out a tremendous cover!
