Azrael

Debuting in Batman Legend #2 in 1996 under the creative hands of John Francis Moore, Stéphane Deschamps, and P. Craig Russell, Azrael is a figure steeped in the darker, more complex storytelling of the Copper/Modern Age. Published by Semic S.A., this character has kept remarkably compelling company across their appearances — sharing pages with the likes of Bruce Wayne, Batman, Jean-Paul Valley, Ra's Al Ghul, and Talia Al Ghul, names that signal stories operating at the highest, most dramatic stakes in the Batman corner of comics. With appearances stretching across nearly three decades and titles including Batman Nocturne and a special edition pairing with Ash, Azrael occupies a genuinely intriguing niche for collectors who love hunting down the international edges of the Batman universe.
