DC Finest: Batman – A Death in the Family

Description

DC Finest: Batman – A Death in the Family – a large-scale collection that for the first time brings together two controversial and highly important Batman stories: The Cult and A Death in the Family.

This DC Finest edition uncovers some of the darkest and most painful moments in the Caped Crusader's life, as Batman is pushed to his psychological limits. These are stories of loss, despair, manipulation, and the hero's determination to persevere even as the world crumbles around him.

The collection prominently features the legendary A Death in the Family saga – one of the most famous and widely discussed Batman stories, which left a lasting impact on the entire DC universe. Alongside it, readers will find the grim, atmospheric The Cult mini-series, illustrated by Bernie Wrightson.
