Issue #1-1ST
1st printing. Written by PAUL DINI. Painted art and cover ALEX ROSS. The war on crime is a bitter struggle, claiming many innocents. For any one man to end crime is a near-impossible task. For Batman, it is his life's work...an all-consuming obsession. When the Dark Knight encounters a young boy whose parents have been murdered (echoing the tragedy that created Batman himself), it raises fundamental questions about his own life in BATMAN: WAR ON CRIME, writer Paul Dini's and artist Alex Ross's fully painted, oversized follow-up to their best-selling, award-winning SUPERMAN: PEACE ON EARTH. Written by Emmy Award-winning producer Dini (THE BATMAN ADVENTURES: MAD LOVE, BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN), with staggering painted art by Ross (KINGDOM COME, UNCLE SAM), BATMAN: WAR ON CRIME finds the Dark Knight questioning the true nature of the evil he has dedicated himself to eradicating ? crime itself ? taking him from Gotham City's grimmest alleys to its shining corporate towers. Combining traditional comic-book storytelling and the illustrated-text format of storybooks, Dini and Ross have created a worthy successor to SUPERMAN: PEACE ON EARTH, one that stands on its own as an indisputable classic. Softcover, 10-in. x13-in., 64 pages, full color. Cover price $9.95.
