A top-hatted magician villain blasting energy mid-frame, a blonde woman in red falling away, and Batman's massive shadow-cape consuming the entire background with two glowing yellow eyes cutting through the dark — this is the Wagner\/Grant\/Breyfogle trio at full stride. November 1988, 75 cents, Newsstand.

Breyfogle's Batman is all sharp angles and dramatic shadow, and this cover is a masterclass in using negative space to make a villain feel genuinely threatening. Interior pages show heavy tanning consistent with late-'80s newsprint, but Breyfogle's linework holds up completely. The TSR Buck Rogers board game back cover — 400 space stations, galactic arsenals, Fall '88 — is a time capsule within a time capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNormal wear consistent with age and storage — expect heavy tanning to interior pages, minor spine stress, and light edge wear as shown in photos.
