Summary

"A new collection featuring the legendary 1980s Batman epics 'Ten Nights of the Beast' and 'A Death in the Family,' never before collected! This new collection of 1980s Batman tales includes the legendary story 'A Death in the Family,' in which the Joker ends up killing the second Robin, Jason Todd. It all begins with the story 'Ten Nights of the Beast,' which introduced the deadly post-Soviet villain known as the KGBeast. Following that, a series of stories concerning organized crime in the streets of Gotham City leads into 'A Death in the Family,' in which Robin follows a trail to find his birth mother, who is in cahoots with the Joker"--
