Batman: Snow
Early in his career (before Robin), while the Caped Crusader assembles a pack of talented civilians to help in his nascent fight against crime, a laboratory mishap produces Mr. Freeze, the first of Batman's superpowered foes. This story is a bit more engaging than the standard Batman tale, and its most compelling element is the artwork of Seth Fisher, whose brightly lit, cartoonish-yet-detailed style deviates from the noirish approach most commonly taken with the character. Fisher, who died last year at 33, had only a handful of mainstream comics to his credit, every one of them a gem. Flagg, GordonCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
