The year is 1961. A time of transition between the Fifties--the decade of Ike, McCarthyism and Jake Kerouac--and the dawn of the Sexual Revolution, the Vietnam War and turning on, tuning in and dropping out. Like the rest of the USA, Gotham City is filled with giddy optimism. And no one could know that the dark days lay ahead--especially her two masked defenders Batgirl and Robin. For them, the joyride was about to end ... and the last stop was death! From Howard Chaykin and Dan Brereton comes the Eisner-Nominated Batman: Thrillkiller, collecting Thrillkiller #1-3 and Thrillkiller '62, along with never before published behind the scenes artwork and an introduction by Howard Chaykin.
