The Caped Crusader has been an icon of justice andauthority for generations. But in this surprising original graphic novel, now intrade paperback for the first time, we see Batman in a new light-as the saviorwho helps a discouraged man recover from a brutal attack that left him unable toface the world. In the 1990s, Eisner Award-winning writer Paul Dini had aflourishing career writing the hugely popular Batman: The Animated Series andTiny Toon Adventures. Walking home one evening, he was jumped and viciouslybeaten to within an inch of his life. His recovery process was arduous, hamperedby the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for television, includingThe Joker, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. But Dini also always imagined theBatman at his side during his darkest moments. DARK NIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORYis the harrowing and eloquent autobiographical tale of Dini's courageousstruggle to overcome a desperate situation. It is a Batman story like none otherand one that will truly resonate with fans, with art by Eduardo Risso (100BULLETS)
