Synopsis

The Joker teams up with the most unlikely allies to kill the Boy Wonder… The Fans.

It was the Caped Crusader's fiftieth anniversary, and his fans were given a choice--keep the status quo of the Dynamic Duo, or return Batman to what he was created to be--a brooding, one-man war on crime. A vote was held, the results were honored and history was made--having been handed is most devastating defeat, Robin was killed and Batman was once again Gotham's lone Dark Knight.

But what would the ramifications of this tragedy be? Would Batman become a more focused champion of justice or a reckless vigilante, unable to recover from such a loss? These questions were answered in A LONELY PLACE FOR DYING-- a five-part follow up story, which answers the question, does Batman need a Robin?

This volume of DC COMICS CLASSICS LIBRARY collects both of these iconic tales, which defines the relationship between the Dynamic Duo. Written by Jim Starlin and Marv Worlman and with art by Jim Aparo, George Pérez and Tom Grummet, these stories originally ran in BATMAN 426-429, 440-442 and THE NEW TITANS 60-61. Also includes anecdotes by writer Len Wein and a very rare alternate page in case the readers voted to save Jason.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jim Starlin is the acclaimed author of classic graphic novels including, for DC Comics, Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: A Death in the Family, as well as the 1982 Marvel graphic novel The Death of Captain Marvel.  His other works include the space operas Warlock and Dreadstar.

A self-taught artist, Jim Aparo first attempted to break into the industry in the early 1950s at the legendary E.C. Comics group. When E.C. rejected his work, Aparo turned to advertising art in his native Connecticut, where he specialized in illustrating newspaper fashion ads while continuing his efforts to work in comics. His dream was finally realized in 1966 when Charlton Comics editor Dick Giordano hired him to draw a humorous character called Miss Bikini Luv in Go-Go Comics. Sharpening his skills on such features as the Phantom, Nightshade, Wander and Thane of Bagarth, Aparo followed Giordano to DC Comics in 1968 where he quickly gained notice for his smooth, realistic style on such titles as Aquaman, The Brave and the Bold, The Phantom Stranger, The Spectre, The House Of Mystery, The House Of Secrets, Batman, Detective Comics, and Batman and the Outsiders. An artist whose work is still considered a high-water mark for the industry, Aparo died on July 19, 2005.
