| book description |

Some scars fade. Crime Alley never does. Denny Oâ€™Neil (Batman), and Len Wein (Swamp Thing)Â headline a run that fuses crime noir, gothic horror, and raw emotion. Night after night, Gotham throws its worst at Batman: killers who freeze their victims, arsonists who turn the city into a burning maze, mystics and vampires haunting alleys, assassins sworn to Raâ€™s al Ghul, and a clown prince who treats murder as performance art. This era also marks the pivotal debut of Lucius Fox, a figure who will become essential to both Bruce Wayneâ€™s personal and corporate life. Threaded through it all is Bruce Wayneâ€™s ritual return to the place where it beganâ€”Crime Alleyâ€”and the allies and enemies who remind him why he can never stop. Guided by Denny Oâ€™Neil (Green Lantern/Green Arrow) and Len Wein (Detective Comics), and includingÂ ""Wanted: Santa Clausâ€”Dead or Alive!""â€”a crucial early Batman story by award-winning writer-artist Frank Miller (Batman: Year One)â€”this era pairs hard-hitting scripts with striking art fromÂ Don Newton (Detective Comics),Â Â Irv Novick (The Flash), Ross Andru (Action Comics), and more.Â Collects Batman #307â€“324; Detective Comics #482â€“490; DC Special Series #21; and The Brave and the Bold #159.
