Gorgeous! I`ll be adding that one to my ever increasing wish list. Neal Adams has to be the best thing that has ever happened to the Caped Crusader. Bats is my all time favorite comic hero,bar none.

Ok.. I gotta admit.. both candidates are worthy of Best Batman N.A. cover.

 

But this has always been, and to me is pure Batman.

( I hope it is N.A... I always gave him credit for it.. am I correct?.. it is Neal Adams work right?, please tell me I am right.. or I am screwed. foreheadslap.gif)

 

Anyhow.. this is my vote..

 

No one else on the cover.., but Batty himself.. really pissed off..distinctive N.A. abstract perspective.. to me it is a classic.. ohh.. and Bat Cape aplenty...

 

And a big circle for a moon too.!

 

BEST BATS COVER EVER

Yeah, 241 is an Adams cover. Of his Batman run I would have to say my second favorite is 237 (simply awesome Halloween cover) or 234 first SA 2-Face. They are all great in some way though.

 

# 237 would be my second vote..

Not only for Best Cover.. but best story ever .

That is among the few comics I have probably read over 100 times.

 

It to me is what makes a really great comic story.

I would love to see that animated as a Halloween Special. cloud9.gif

 

And Pov.. I think you are right on the Mary Mc.Guff Reference.

 

 

And this Cover has always held a certain C.S.I. allure for me.

 

Was really graphic for the time.

On that Batman 241 - IS there a Mary MacGuffin character? Sounds like homage to Hitchcock!

 

Yep, that's writer Denny O'Neil being cute. Mary MacGuffin is the kidnap victim. The story revolves around Batman rescuing her from the kidnapper Col. Sulphur. So she's the macguffin... yeahok.gif
