Robin: Year One (New Edition) - by Chuck Dixon & Scott Beatty (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Boy Wonder--who he is and how he came to be!

After months of training to become Batman's crime-fighting partner, young orphan Dick Grayson is finally ready to take to the night as Robin. But this job requires more than just his fists. As he squares off against the Mad Hatter, Mr. Freeze and Two-Face for the first time, Robin grapples with the hard choices and sacrifices that come with the life of a masked hero.

His first year on the job is a trial by fire; can Robin fly high enough to stay out of the flames?

Robin: Year One collects the full miniseries by Chuck Dixon (Nightwing), Scott Beatty (Batgirl: Year One), and Javier Pulido (She-Hulk), along with behind-the-scenes sketches and designs.

About the Author

Chuck Dixon's resume includes thousands of scripts for iconic characters like Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Iron Man, the Punisher, the Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, G.I. Joe and many others. He is (along with artist Graham Nolan) the creator of the Batman villain Bane, the first permanent addition to the Dark Knight's rogues gallery in forty years, and for which he won 1993's Wizard Fan Award for best new character. His graphic novel adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit is a perennial bestseller worldwide. His unprecedented 100 issue run on DC Comics' Robin is considered to be a classic in the comics medium. Chuck's contributions to Marvel Comics' The Punisher are widely acknowledged as integral to that character's development.
