The original cover
Built like a doorway. Read like a warning.
Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin’s 2024 cover turns Batman’s silhouette into architecture: a dark mass framing a burning orange skyline.
CoverLineage counts a new entry when the core drawing changes. Virgin, foil, color, and trade-dress editions remain attached to the same artwork.
