Comic books are, by their very nature, a blended medium. They are a synthesis of words and pictures, and the best ones exist in a space where the two are speaking the same language. Podcasting is an aural medium, told entirely through words and sounds. That is all to say that it's not always easy to blend the more visual nature of comics with podcasting. And this week, well, we're discussing three single issues with iconic covers. We have a classic 60s cover inspired by the height of Batmania, a Todd McFarlane cover that has been made into statues and ads, and a Simone Bianchi cover that Will remembers from its use as the prototypical Detective Comics cover on Comixology.

Batman's Baffling Turnabout (Batman V.1 # 183)

You Should Seen Him... (Batman V.1 # 423)

Sharkbait (Detective Comics V.1 # 828)
