Grassetti Variant Cover A

Label #4366367024

Written by Rafael Grampa. Art by Rafael Grampa. Cover by Rafael Grassetti. A devil cub falls to earth and breaks its wing... In the unmissable second installment of acclaimed storyteller Rafael Grampa's masterpiece, the skies over Gotham grow darker still.

And the closer Batman gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that his real enemy's power runs much deeper than just puppeteering a few costumed criminals...to the very heart of Gotham City itself! 48 pages, full color. Rated T+ Cover price $6.99.

View items consigned by SlabSmart: all items, auctions only

To some people, guns are a scourge; to others, a Constitutional right; for still others, they are merely a means to achieving an end. But at every level of society, children find guns, usually by chance...and often at the cost of their own lives. In BATMAN: SEDUCTION OF THE GUN, Batman and Robin confront the issue of gun control head on, in an action-packed and thought-provoking tale of gun-running, gang violence and the insidious lure of firearms. Inspired by today's headlines, this special takes a hard look at the way guns are perceived and used, with particular emphasis on their accessibility to juveniles. It is an extensively researched look into the subject with a strong emphasis on a story that avoids advocating any particular political view. Written by John Ostrander, with art by Vince Giarrano. Painted cover by Dave Dorman. 68 pages. Cover price $2.50.
