Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #8: The Court of Owls

This is a single-issue comic book from DC Comics titled 'Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #8,' featuring the story arc 'The Court of Owls.' The front cover features a vibrant full-color illustration depicting characters from Scooby-Doo (Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, and Velma) in the foreground, seemingly dancing or reacting to music, while Batman flies overhead. A large, imposing silhouette of an owl-masked figure loom in the background, a direct reference to the DC Universe's Court of Owls antagonists. The comic is printed on standard semi-glossy paper stock with a height of approximately 10.2 inches and a width of 6.6 inches. Notable markings include the DC logo in the top left corner, the issue number '#8' clearly visible, and a retail barcode in the bottom left corner. The artwork follows a modern, animated style consistent with the Scooby-Doo aesthetic while being blended with Batman's darker motifs. Regarding condition, the image shows some digital artifacts and low resolution, but based on physical markers, the comic appears to be in 'reader's copy' condition or better, with no immediate signs of major creases, water damage, or tears visible on the main cover plane, though the spine shows minor potential shelf wear. Published around 2021, this book represents a family-friendly crossover between two iconic media franchises, utilizing high-quality digital coloring and professional lettering typical of DC's modern production standards.
