At the end of his industry-changing run at DC Comics, Neal Adams turned in this solid cover. However, with Batman then running 100-page issues, the art didn’t get the packaging it deserved. Shrunk to fit a smaller box in the cover template, we’ve always wondered how it would have looked as a normal cover.

As published.
The biggest copy of the original art I could find. It will have to do.
Cleaned up and ready for production.
Reconstructed trade dress added.
And new colour based on the original scheme.
