New Thrillkiller Edition Featurning Batman and More Set For 2018!

Thrillkiller is summarized as follows.

      “[Thrillkiller] was originally published in its own comic book mini-series Thrillkiller from January to March, 1997 and in the one-shot Thrillkiller ’62 from 1998. The storyline was written by Howard Chaykin and illustrated by Dan Brereton. Thrillkiller is an Elseworlds story. This story takes place is 1961, a time of transition between the fifties and the dawn of the Sexual Revolution, the Vietnam War and turning on, tuning in and dropping out. Like the rest of the United States, Gotham City is filled with giddy optimism. And no one could guess at the dark days that lay ahead, especially her two masked defenders Batgirl and Robin. For them, the joyride was about to end, and the last stop was Death”.

Thanks, DC Wikia for the synopsis.
