Legends of the Dark Knight #1

"Shaman, Book One" kicks off a haunting, character-driven tale in Legends of the Dark Knight #1, a 1989 DC classic that finds a young Bruce Wayne—before the cowl—on a grueling journey through the Alaskan wilderness. Tracked by a bounty hunter and pushed to his limits, Bruce is rescued by a mysterious Shaman who wears a ceremonial bat-mask and shares a mythic story of a bat and a raven. Written by Dennis O'Neil and brought to life with atmospheric art by Ed Hannigan, inks by John Beatty, colors by Richmond Lewis, and letters by John Costanza, this issue blends raw survival with mythic resonance. The cover by Ed Hannigan captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone.
