Great choice and the deserving “winner” for cover of the day. The first string Batman villains were always bigger than life, and this cover exemplifies that idea. This cover may also have faced some of the toughest competition of any other day, including other Batman villains like the Joker in Batman #73, and a great Adam Hughes Catwoman #73 cover. I have always loved Amazing Spider-Man #73 which captures Spidey as a bullied teenager, and FF #73 with a classic Marvel “misunderstanding” hero battle cover. The Creeper cover of Showcase #73 is also a standout.

Cool cover for sure! Love how Robin is doing a great Scrooge McDuck impression!
