The Raven

Richard Corben's moody and evocative take on Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven." Originally published in Creepy #67, December 1974. Reprinted in Comics International #2, the wonderful book Creepy Presents Richard Corben, and probably a hundred other places.

Batman: Nevermore

Batman: Nevermore is apparently part of the "Elseworlds" series. I'm guessing that's some deal where they can put Batman in historical situations without screwing up the continuity. I don't know and can't be arsed to figure it out right now. The series is written by Len Wein and the art by Guy Davis looks serviceable. The only thing I care about is the series gave Bernie Wrightson a chance to do five nice covers featuring Edgar Allan Poe and a Batman that looks kind of off (in a good way) with a big beak.
