Batman: Four of a Kind #[nn]

May 1998 · DC · 14.95 USD; 20.95 CAD
“Year One: Poison Ivy (Chapter 1: Look..But You Better Not Touch!)”

Four of Batman's most memorable villains share the spotlight in this 1998 DC trade paperback, with a cover by Dave Taylor and Kevin Nowlan that arranges Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, the Riddler, and a winged Man-Bat into a darkly playful group portrait — Ivy poised confidently at center while her rogues' gallery companions loom and cower around her. The collection spotlights a "Year One" Poison Ivy story written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Quique Alcatena, offering an early-career glimpse at the green-clad temptress through that distinctive origin-era lens DC mined so effectively in the late 1990s. It's a satisfying package for anyone drawn to Gotham's villains getting their own moment in the spotlight.
