Batman: Tales of the Demon #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1991 trade paperback collects several early Ra's al Ghul stories from the 1970s, primarily written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Neal Adams. It includes key issues from Batman and Detective Comics that introduced the immortal eco-terrorist and his daughter Talia, establishing a defining saga in Batman's mythos.
In "Into the Den of the Death Dealers!", Batman races to protect Kathy Kane—once Batwoman—only to arrive too late, as she falls victim to a brutal assault by the League of Assassins. With Kathy's death a grim reality, Ra's Al Ghul points to the mysterious Sensei as the mastermind, forcing Batman into a deadly confrontation with the feared Bronze Tiger. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life by Don Newton’s dynamic art, with Dan Adkins’ inks and Glenn Whitmore’s colors, this 1991 tale is a stark, atmospheric dive into Gotham’s darker shadows. Brian Stelfreeze’s cover captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a story where every move could be a death sentence.
In "Swamp Sinister," Batman is drawn into a deadly game when Ra's Al Ghul commands him to track down Striss, a fugitive who’s stolen a dangerous chemical formula—unaware of its true, lethal nature. Set in the murky depths of a forgotten swamp, the hunt becomes a race against time as the line between hunter and hunted blurs in the oppressive heat and silence.
In "The Lazarus Pit!", Batman faces off against the deadly Lo Ling in a brutal showdown that takes him to the heart of Switzerland. Tracking Ra's Al Ghul to a secluded mountain hideout, Batman discovers the League of Assassins' leader dead—only to witness his shocking resurrection through the ancient power of a Lazarus Pit.
In "The Vengeance Vow!", Batman races to protect Kathy Kane at her circus after a dire warning, only to arrive too late—Kathy is slain by the League of Assassins. With Ra’s Al Ghul implicating the Sensei as the mastermind, Batman sets out for revenge, but must first confront the deadly Bronze Tiger.
