Books like Batman by Frank Robbins


The 1960s saw Batman's popularity rise, and its TV show captured the public's imagination. However, as the decade drew to a close, a new atmosphere began to take hold in Gotham City. A darker, more serious tone emerged, driven by the expressive, richly rendered artwork of Neal Adams, Dick Giordano, and Irv Novick, and the intricate, thoughtful stories of Dennis O'Neil and Frank Robbins. The long-awaited follow-up to the 1960s TV series, this graphic novel captures the essence of the era through the eyes of these talented artists and writers.

πŸ“˜ Batman, the man who laughs

"Even at the very beginning of his crime-fighting career, the Batman has already seen plenty of humaninty's dark side-- but it's nothing compared to what is about to emerge, giggling, from the shadows: a grinning, chalk-faced figure whose madness threatens to overwhelm everything that stands in its way. For Gotham City's new defender, this first encounter with the creature called the Joker will be the ultimate trial by fire-- a battle that will define his long struggle against the forces of chaos and insanity. Years later, those same forces will erupt again from a wholly unexpected direction-- and ghosts of the past, both good and evil, will have to face the harsh light of inquiry before they can finally rest"--P. [4] of cover.

πŸ“˜ Batman

Batman strikes fear in the hearts of criminals, but there’s a killer stalking Gotham who’s even better at inspiring fright–and his method just might be unbeatable . . . because it’s invisible. Unbeknownst to the general public, a powerful new designer drug has hit the streets of Gotham, courtesy of an evil genius determined to turn the expression β€œscared to death” into lethal reality. Unlike the Caped Crusader, who petrifies only villains, this mastermind is targeting decent citizens–and he’s come up with the ultimate delivery system. After all, the public can’t refuse something they can’t see, hear, or smell. That’s the beauty of a terror toxin that is undetectable by the human senses. And with all of Gotham’s super-villains incarcerated, Batman must hunt down a mystery madman about whom he knows nothing. Maybe the Dark Knight should be afraid . . . because there’s plenty to fear when you go head-to-head with fear itself.
