I know you're thinking "But Ian, the comics are awesome every month!" and you're totally right - they are - but this month features so many special items I wanted to make sure that you were perfectly clear on the degree of amazing we've got going on. Throughout October we are bringing you specials, new projects, new formats, new beginnings, and much more. I'll be dedicating this space to more specific coverage of some of these projects later on, but for now let's review some of what you can expect to see:

A double shot of Bernie Wrightson Batman? Sold.

Finally, the “lost” Bernie Wrightson Batman story has arrived. Written by veteran Ron Marz with inks by the masterful Kevin Nowlan, the story pits the Dark Knight against Solomon Grundy and features full-page illustrations throughout the issue.

But that’s not all. BATMAN: HIDDEN TREASURES also features a newly-colored Wrightson and Len Wein classic, “Night of the Bat,” which originally appeared in SWAMP THING #7. Both stories feature colors by acclaimed artist Alex Sinclair.

BATMAN: HIDDEN TREASURES hits today.

A closer look at BATMAN: HIDDEN TREASURES

Bernie Wrightson drawing Batman. What more do you really need, beyond knowing that the master storyteller is putting pen to paper on a tale of the Dark Knight? Well, OK. How about industry legend Kevin Nowlan? All bringing to life a story by veteran writer Ron Marz.

But that’s not all – the issue also includes a newly colored, classic Wrightson/Len Wein Batman story: “Night of the Bat,” which originally appeared in SWAMP THING #7, featuring colors by the masterful Alex Sinclair. This lineup couldn’t get more A-list if we tried. But enough boasting – how about a look at a few pages from the issue?
