Crime Alley never does. Denny O'Neil (Batman), and Len Wein (Swamp Thing) headline a run that fuses crime noir, gothic horror, and raw emotion. Night after night, Gotham throws its worst at Batman: killers who freeze their victims, arsonists who turn the city into a burning maze, mystics and vampires haunting alleys, assassins sworn to Ra's al Ghul, and a clown prince who treats murder as performance art.  This era also marks the pivotal debut of Lucius Fox, a figure who will become essential to both Bruce Wayne's personal and corporate life. Threaded through it all is Bruce Wayne's ritual return to the place where it began--Crime Alley--and the allies and enemies who remind him why he can never stop.  Guided by Denny O'Neil ( Green Lantern\/Green Arrow) and Len Wein ( Detective Comics), and including \"Wanted: Santa Claus--Dead or Alive!\"--a crucial early Batman story by award-winning writer-artist Frank Miller ( Batman: Year One)--this era pairs hard-hitting scripts with striking art from Don Newton ( Detective Comics), Irv Novick ( The Flash), Ross Andru ( Action Comics), and more.  Collects  Batman #307-324;  Detective Comics #482-490;  DC Special Series #21; and  The Brave and the Bold #159.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 664 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278637936866,"sku":"9781799509615","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781799509615.jpg?v=1787958025","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/9781799509615","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
