Red Rain
According to Jones, "Red Rain" was produced after he finished "Love After Death". Editor Archie Goodwin had been impressed by Jones' work on the series and wanted him to draw a "Detective Comics" cover to see his take on Batman. The image Jones produced—which depicted Batman diving down with a "weird cape" and surrounded by bats—impressed Goodwin and Dennis O'Neil, the editor of the Batman family of comics. O'Neil wanted to use Jones' art for a Batman book and had been talking to Moench, who was also a fan of Jones. Moench contacted Jones and told him about the concept he had made for an Elseworlds story in which Batman fights Count Dracula. Jones initially thought it was "the dumbest thing [he] ever heard", but changed his mind after Moench sent him the outline for it, which Jones called "out of the park wonderful." The original title was "Glory in Scarlet" before being changed to "Red Rain". It took Moench and Jones five months to produce "Red Rain". They used an approach somewhat similar to the Marvel method: Moench provided Jones a plot description of each page, with a few lines of dialogue scattered about. Malcolm Jones III inked the art.
