...and Alan Davis addressing the origins of said designation...

NOTE - The second link also features Davis' uninked pencils for page 20 of FF: The End #6, so a SPOILER warning (for the image accompanying Alan's comments, not the comments themselves) for those who haven't yet read #6.

ITEM!

Wizard #127 (published in 2002) ran the feature 'Top 100 Covers of all Time,' and the Davis/Neary cover for Detective Comics #574 clocked in at #42.

From http://208.122.2.22/articles/top_100_co ... time:10276 (where you can check out all 100 covers):

42. DETECTIVE COMICS #574 (1987)
It was one of the Dark Knight's darkest nights. Before it was the in-thing to kill Robin, this silhouetted image by Alan Davis and Paul Neary struck a chord with its powerful yet simple imagery. The fact that this is Batman and Robin leaves an indelible impression.
