In Batman: A Death in the Family (1989), Jason Todd’s desperate search for his biological mother takes a deadly turn when the Joker ambushes them both—leaving fans to decide his fate through a groundbreaking reader vote. Written by Jim Starlin and illustrated by Jim Aparo, with inks by Mike DeCarlo and colors by Adrienne Roy, the story unfolds with emotional weight and high stakes, culminating in a shocking confrontation that reshapes Batman’s world.
