Batman Vol. 1 #621, Signed by Brian Azzarello, DC '03

Batman #621 continues "Broken City," the six-issue noir arc from the award-winning 100 Bullets creative team of writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso, with covers by Dave Johnson. In Part 2, Batman pushes deeper into Gotham's criminal underworld, pursuing the trail of the man who killed a young boy's parents, a murder that cuts uncomfortably close to his own origin. The hunt leads him into a confrontation with Killer Croc and a reckoning with Detective Crispin Allen, while a dream sequence pulls Bruce Wayne back to the night Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed by Joe Chill. Azzarello's hard-boiled dialogue and Risso's shadow-heavy art keep the tension ratcheted tight throughout. This copy has been signed by writer Brian Azzarello.
