Storyline: Dick Giordano writes of his love for the character of Batman since his childhood years of 1941-1942 and introduces the soon-to-be historically groundbreaking graphic novel The Dark Knight, by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley. He also introduces the then-new and unique format for this series of four volumes: "The books are 48 pages long, full-process separations on good paper with heavy-weight covers, perfect bindings, and square-backed, in every way graphic novels, except they fit in a standard comic book rack. All this for 2.95 each, a bargain any way you look at it!"
