BATMAN THE CULT

Collects #1-4, 1988 and a bonus Wrightson sketch section.

Deacon Blackfire, a charismatic shaman with roots as old as Gotham City itself, has amassed the city's homeless into an army, one he seemingly uses to fight crime. But Blackfire has a hidden agenda... In 1988, comics legends Jim Starlin (Thanos) and Bernie Wrightson (Swamp Thing) teamed for this four-issue series, one of the most celebrated Batman stories ever. It stands next to  classics of its era like Batman: Death in the Family and Batman: The Killing Joke. Wonderful artwork by Wrightson at his best!! With Batman brainwashed by Blackfire and Gotham in chaos, can the Dark Knight’s city be saved? It may all be up to Robin.
