A new edition of the classic, fan favorite 90s Elseworlds tale, BATMAN: THRILLKILLER, is back after years out of print!
The year is 1961. A time of transition between the Fifties--the decade of Ike, McCarthyism and Jake Kerouac--and the dawn of the Sexual Revolution, the Vietnam War and turning on, tuning in and dropping out.
Like the rest of the USA, Gotham City is filled with giddy optimism. And no one could know that the dark days lay ahead--especially her two masked defenders Batgirl and Robin.
For them, the joyride was about to end ... and the last stop was death!
From Howard Chaykin and Dan Brereton comes the Eisner-Nominated Batman: Thrillkiller, collecting Thrillkiller #1-3 and Thrillkiller '62, along with never before published behind the scenes artwork and an introduction by Howard Chaykin.
Howard Chaykin is responsible for some of the most innovative and influential comics of the last several decades, including AMERICAN FLAGG, BLACK KISS, and updated versions of BLACKHAWK and THE SHADOW. He adapted several science fiction novels into graphic novel format, including Alfred Bester's THE STARS MY DESTINATION, Roger Zelazny's EMPIRE and Michael Moorcock's THE SWORDS OF HEAVEN, THE FLOWERS OF HELL. Chaykin also worked on concepts for the movie ROBOCOP and wrote for TV series including THE FLASH, VIPER and EARTH: FINAL CONFLICT.
