Item Description

Here is the entire 1988 mini-series, BATMAN: THE CULT, written by Jim Starlin, illustrated by Berni Wrightson, colored by Bill Wray and edited by Denny O'Neil. Each of the 4 issues is a 52-page Prestige format square bound book, and each one carries a gripping story and powerful artwork.

The story follows the machinations of Deacon Blackfire and his band of homeless followers, who have kidnapped BATMAN before the events of this story. Following a lengthy period of captivity, Batman slowly succumbs to brainwashing. Batman is eventually freed from the cult, but takes a long time to recover from his treatment at their hands. Meanwhile, Gotham City politicians are being assassinated by Blackfire's party of followers.

BATMAN is nearly broken from his treatment in the sewers, and flees Gotham City . . .but regains his fighting spirit as he realizes that he did not become the BATMAN merely to avenge his parent's deaths, but to deal with the fear. He and ROBIN return to Gotham for a showdown with Deacon Blackfire. Blackfire plans to embrace his death at the hands of BATMAN as a religious leader, but once BATMAN physically overpowers him and makes him beg for mercy, his followers lose their faith in Blackfire and tear him to pieces.

These 4 issues are comic store mint, with high-gloss covers and nary a flaw to be seen. Overstreet quotes a price of $28 for this full mini-series collection . . . but our price is just $18, and the only place you can get the full set in one purchase here on HipComic!
