From award-winning author Greg Rucka (BATWOMAN, WONDER WOMAN) and comics legend Klaus Janson (BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Daredevil), BATMAN: DEATH AND THE MAIDENS: THE DELUXE EDITION tells the gripping story of the final days of Ra’s al Ghul.
Ra’s al Ghul has lived for hundreds of years, but he is not immortal.
Without access to his life-giving Lazarus Pit, death will come to the
Demon’s Head just as it would anyone else. Ra’s knows his days are
numbered, but his life’s work is far from complete. Time and again the
Dark Knight has thwarted him, but now, in his final days, Ra’s must turn
to the Batman for help.
In exchange for his aid, Ra’s offers
Batman the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to speak with his dead
parents. But the reunion is not what Batman imagined, and what Martha
and Thomas Wayne have to say to their son will profoundly change both
the man and the hero.
This volume includes the complete
nine-issue miniseries and prologue story as well as behind-the-scenes
sketches and commentary.
