Detective Comics #227 is a true classic of the Bronze Age, featuring Neal Adams used his unprecedented fame during the early 1970s to once again draw attention to the neglected giants of the industry — in this case, by paying tribute to the Golden Age Masters with this famous homage to the legendary cover of Detective Comics #31. Taking the dark, gothic atmosphere of the original image and pairing it with his deft, photorealistic style, Adams manages to take a perfect cover and make it even more extraordinary, matching the brooding mood of the source image with a then-contemporary "dark romance" style perfectly suited to the feel of the book's recent pulpy revamp. This is one of the top three covers by arguably the finest cover artist of the 1970s, and an issue that is instantly snapped up by Adams fanatics every time it comes to market.
