The Caped Crusader has been an icon of justice and
authority for generations. But in this surprising original graphic novel, now in
trade paperback for the first time, 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, Eisner Award-winning 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 to 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 Dini also always imagined the
Batman at his side 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 desperate situation. It is a Batman story like none other
and one that will truly resonate with fans, with art by Eduardo Risso (100
