The Bat-Man: Second Knight #3 p.42 - A Scary Spook Pays Maxie a Visit!

NOTE: These pages measure 16.5" x 21", slightly larger than twice-up size!

This striking original page perfectly captures the grit of the 1939 underworld as the "Bat-Man" confronts the arrogant Maxie. Mike Perkins delivers a masterclass in noir storytelling, contrasting Maxie’s boisterous, dismissive bravado against the silent, looming shadow of Gotham’s vigilante. The tension is palpable as Maxie taunts his intruder, unaware that he’s facing a force that cannot be "plugged" or bought off. Perkins’ heavy use of ink and atmospheric snow creates a suffocating sense of dread, leading to an intense close-up that reveals the true face of a man who thinks he’s untouchable; just before his world is "shut down." For any collector, this page offers a premier example of Perkins' ability to weave character-driven dialogue into a haunting, high-contrast visual narrative!
