Feb 2017 · DC · 16.99 USD; 22.99 CAD
“The Short Halloween”

In "The Short Halloween," a festive yet sinister gathering at an abandoned movie studio brings together Penguin, Catwoman, and Joker with a horde of their fellow villains, all plotting against Batman. When the Riddler, left out of the plan, sends cryptic riddles to the Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin spring into action—only to find the villains’ scheme far less threatening than expected. Written by Lee Allred and illustrated with vibrant, stylized flair by Michael Allred, with colors by Laura Allred and letters by Wes Abbott, this 2017 tale captures the playful menace of the classic '66 series, all wrapped in a cover by Michael Allred.
