This hardcover presents the landmark "Batman: Year Two" storyline from Detective Comics 575 through 578 (1987) plus the one-shot Batman: Full Circle (1991).  Centering around Batman's second year in Gotham, The Dark Knight is forced to team up with the man who murdered his parents to bring down the murderous Reaper (Gotham's newest vigilante).  Full Circle, set several years later, features a Reaper copycat on the loose in Gotham.  Batman, and his new ward, Dick Grayson (Robin), have to take down this new threat.  A fan favorite, Year Two influenced the Batman: Mask of the Phantasm animated movie and was also the first "big league" character Todd McFarlane worked on (he would move on to Marvel's Incredible Hulk after finishing Year Two.

This hardback celebrates the 30th year of the release of Year Two and is signed by hand by series writer Mike Barr as well as artist Alan Davis and inker Mark Farmer.  Davis penciled the first issue of Year Two and all of Full Circle.  Farmer inked Full Circle.  In near mint/mint condition, it will be shipped with the utmost care.  Please note- the signatures are real.  They are the actual, hand-signed signatures of the comic creators stated.  They are not pre-printed images in the book.
