Batman: Rise of the Killer Croc

From 1980 to 1983, writer Gerry Conway pioneered a remarkable cross-title continuity between Batman and Detective Comics, tying the two series together like never before. Conway’s tenure climaxed with a seven-issue storyline introducing future Robin Jason Todd and villain Killer Croc, capped by a 56-page extravaganza featuring a who’s who of Batman rogues. That extended epic is collected here in a standalone edition for the first time! COLLECTS DETECTIVE COMICS #523–526; BATMAN #357–359
