About the series
In the wake of Knightfall, Dennis O'Neil and a rotating team of artists including Barry Kitson and Roger Robinson explored the brutal, redemptive solo adventures of Jean-Paul Valley, the troubled man beneath the Azrael mask. This 47-issue DC series from the mid-90s pits the conflicted avenger against his own violent programming, with the villainous Bane looming as a dark mirror of his struggles. It matters as a thoughtful, action-heavy meditation on faith and identity, deepening a character who had just worn the cape of Batman.
