DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection #78

In "Dark Past," a pivotal moment in Batman’s origin is reexamined with chilling depth, as Vandal Savage eliminates Bruce Wayne’s parents during a desperate attempt to crash an asteroid into Earth. Written by Mike W. Barr and illustrated with stark intensity by Gary Frank, this story unfolds with haunting precision, the art enhanced by Cam Smith’s inks and a layered palette from Ian Hannin, Alex Bleyaert, and Robert Ro. The cover, a striking portrait by Scott Hampton, captures the weight of this defining tragedy.
