THis legendary classic shouldn't put much of a dent at all in your pocket book. Listed at a suggested retail of $3.95, that's one hell of a good deal, as Batman started to show his all too human flaws with a Death in the Family. Here, his psychological problems following the death of the second Robin show, I presume the out and out shock that The Joker was a full fledged pyscho, and a really weak 12 year old taking his place? This was the ultimate set up for Knightfall, as some rookie DC villain ... Read More

Get it if you're a die-hard who loves the story, of the art of the time.
