DC FINEST BATMAN A Death in the Family

In 1988 the pop culture and comics worlds were rocked when readers were given the opportunity to decide the outcome of one of the medium’s most controversial quandaries: Should the Boy Wonder die? The decision to possibly kill off the second Robin (at the hands of the Joker) drew polarized opinions from fans and critics and remains one of the most controversial story arcs in the history of the Caped Crusader. Would the Dark Knight slip into the darkness of the abyss without a Boy Wonder to hold him back? And would fans ever accept another wayward youth stepping into the role of Robin? Relive the entire story arc in this DC Finest edition, which also includes the fan-favorite miniseries, Batman: The Cult by Jim Starlin and Bernie Wrightson! Written by Jim Starlin, Mike Baron, John Wagner, Alan Grant, and Denny O'Neil. Art by Jim Aparo, Dave Cockrum, Mark Bright, Ross Andru, Pablo Marcos, Denis Rodier, Norm Breyfogle, Steve Mitchell, Irv Novick, Klaus Janson, Tony DeZuniga, and Bernie Wrightson.
