Below Batman, toward the bottom of the cover, a large gilded architectural detail with a skull and a robed, skeletal figure holding a sword is depicted, rendered in shades of gold and black, providing a stark contrast to the blue and gray city background. The creators' names 'WOLFMAN APARO DeCARLO' are listed in a white box in the bottom right corner, crediting Marv Wolfman (writer), Jim Aparo (penciller), and Mike DeCarlo (inker). The comic appears to be in relatively good, circulated condition, showing some signs of wear typical for its age, such as slight edge wear and possibly some minor creasing, though the overall image is clear and colors remain vibrant. No significant tears, water damage, or major creases are immediately apparent from the provided image. The comic book measures approximately standard modern comic book dimensions, around 6.625 x 10.25 inches. Its estimated age is 1989. This issue is part of a long-running superhero comic series, making it a collectible item for fans of the character and golden/silver age comics.
