About this Collection

This collection brings together the three-issue miniseries Batman + Batgirl: Thrillkiller '62, a standalone DC Elseworlds tale set in an alternate 1962. Written by Howard Chaykin with art by Dan Brereton, it reimagines Batman, Batgirl, and Robin in a retro, noir-infused world where the Bat-family confronts a conspiracy involving corrupt cops and a mysterious killer. The volume also includes the original Thrillkiller '62 one-shot and related bonus material, offering a complete look at this stylish, pulp-inspired take on the Dark Knight's mythos.

In "Thrillkiller '62," Batgirl grapples with the aftermath of Robin's death in the swinging '60s, as Bruce Wayne races to uncover the source of a deadly new drug flooding Gotham's streets. Written by Howard Chaykin and brought to life with bold, textured art by Dan Brereton—whose dynamic pencils, inks, and colors define the issue's gritty, neon-lit atmosphere—this story blends personal loss with a city on the edge. The cover by Dan Brereton captures the era's tension in a striking, high-contrast image.
