“Dark Night: A True Batman Story”

About this Collection

This is a standalone graphic memoir from DC, originally published in 2017, that presents a deeply personal and non-fictional account of writer Paul Dini's real-life experience of a brutal assault and its aftermath. Rather than a traditional superhero tale, the book uses Batman and his rogues gallery as psychological metaphors to explore trauma, recovery, and the healing power of storytelling. It is illustrated by Eduardo Risso and stands apart from mainstream Batman continuity as an autobiographical work.

In "Dark Night: A True Batman Story," writer Paul Dini draws from a harrowing real-life experience, portraying a deeply personal journey as he grapples with the aftermath of a violent mugging. Through the haunting artwork of Eduardo Risso—pencils, inks, and colors all by Risso—this story captures the raw, introspective moment when a creator confronts the line between fiction and trauma. The cover by Risso mirrors the story’s somber intensity, grounding a legendary character in a moment of vulnerable truth.
