Description
Batman: A Death in the Family collects Batman #426–429 (1988) along with Batman #366 (1983), which marked the first appearance of Jason Todd as Robin, and forms part of the DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection (Vol. 11). Published by DC Comics, this storyline follows Batman and his second Robin, Jason Todd, during one of the most consequential chapters in the Dark Knight’s history. As the Joker gains possession of a nuclear weapon and seeks to profit from global instability in the Middle East, Batman races to prevent an international crisis. At the same time, Jason embarks on a personal search for his birth mother, a journey that draws him into grave danger and forces the Dynamic Duo into a confrontation with devastating consequences. Written by Jim Starlin with art by Jim Aparo, this late-1980s arc explores themes of responsibility, loss and the risks of vigilantism within Gotham City and beyond.
A pivotal Batman story, it is suited to readers interested in character-driven superhero drama and major turning points in DC continuity.
