The Caped Crusader has been the all-abiding icon of justice and authority
for generations. But in this surprising original graphic novel, we see Batman in
a new light -- as the savior who helps a discouraged man recover from a brutal
attack that left him unable to face the world. In the 1990s, legendary writer
Paul Dini had a flourishing career writing the hugely popular Batman: The
Animated Series and Tiny Toon Adventures. Walking home one evening, he was
jumped and viciously beaten within an inch of his life. His recovery process was
arduous, hampered by the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for
television including the Joker, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. But despite how
bleak his circumstances were, or perhaps because of it, Dini also always
imagined the Batman at his side, chivvying him along during his darkest moments.
DARK NIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORY is the harrowing and eloquent autobiographical
tale of Dini’s courageous struggle to overcome a truly desperate
situation. It is a Batman story like none other and one that will truly resonate
with fans. Art by the incredible and talented Eduardo Risso (100 BULLETS,
TRANSMETROPOLITAN).
