‘Batman #428: Robin Lives!’ Gets A Second Printing

Here’s one that nearly passed me by as I reacclimatise myself to life after a long and satisfying Christmas and New Year holiday. DC Comics are sending its recent Batman #428: Robin Lives! “faux-simile” edition back for a second printing.

Originally released on Tuesday 12th December, this special issue features the previously unpublished alternative story produced by DC Comics in case Jason Todd survived the public phone-in vote surrounding the while ‘Death in the Family’ storyline. Which he didn’t.

“Thirty-five years ago, fans famously voted on Jason Todd’s fate after his brutal encounter with The Joker, which set Jason on the path to becoming the gun-toting vigilante Red Hood.”

Available to pre-order now, this issue is out on Tuesday 30th January and includes a main cover based on the original cover art by Mike Mignola and Anthony Tollin, this time round printed in black and white with red spot colour. Alternatively, you can pick up the variant cover by series artist Jim Aparo.

Look out for Batman #428: Robin Lives! out on January 30th from DC Comics.
