Batman [Batman Una muerte en la Familia] #1
"Una Muerte en la Familia Parte 1" marks a pivotal moment in Batman’s mythos, with Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo leading a story that redefines Jason’s past as he uncovers a shocking truth about his mother—his stepmother was never his real mother, and his birth mother may still be alive. Batman, tracking the Joker to the Middle East, crosses paths with Jason in a tense, emotionally charged encounter that sets the stage for a family mystery with deadly stakes. Mike Mignola’s striking cover captures the story’s dark intensity, while the interior art by Aparo, with inks by DeCarlo and colors by Roy, brings a gritty, cinematic edge to this 1989 200 ESP classic.
