Two issues after his debut and Grant and Breyfogle are already deepening the character — and Breyfogle's cover for #611 is one of the most compositionally daring in the entire run: extreme close-up of a villain's eye, Batman reflected mid-combat in the iris, gun barrel and smoke curling in the foreground. It shouldn't work as a cover and it's completely unforgettable. \u003cstrong\u003eDetective Comics #611\u003c\/strong\u003e is the second appearance of Anarky, making it the direct companion key to #609. Published February 1990 at $1.00 US, Comics Code Authority.

Breyfogle's eye-reflection cover is one of the most technically ambitious covers in the Grant\/Breyfogle run and stands completely on its own as a display piece. The Acclaim Nintendo Double Player back cover — two kids going head-to-head wireless from 30 feet away in 1990, which was genuinely science fiction at the time — is the kind of tech artifact that makes this issue a double time capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShows wear consistent with age — expect spine stress, corner wear, and age-appropriate tanning throughout as shown in photos.
