About this Collection

This massive Absolute Edition collects the earliest collaborations between writer/artist Neal Adams and DC Comics on the Batman mythos, spanning 1967 to 1970. It gathers key stories from Detective Comics, Batman, and other titles, showcasing Adams' revolutionary artwork that modernized the Dark Knight's look and tone. The volume includes classic tales like the introduction of Man-Bat and the first meeting of Batman and Ra's al Ghul, presented in a large, high-quality format with restored colors and bonus materials.

In "The Superman-Batman Revenge Squads!", Bruce Wayne takes on a surprising new responsibility when Lance Bruner, the son of a friend of his father, becomes his ward. With Dick and the Titans stepping in to guide the rebellious teen, tensions rise when Lance discovers the truth behind Bruce and Dick’s secret identities—setting off a chain of events that tests loyalty and trust in ways neither of them expected. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with dynamic art by Neal Adams, this 2018 issue features cover art by Neal Adams, capturing the intensity of a story where the line between protector and pawn begins to blur.
