American Update: Batman Family Bonus! First Batman Beyond in Comics, 1st Catwoman Ongoing, 1st Nightwing solo series!
*DC: From more modern times than our usual stomping grounds, some Batman-related series which have acquired greater importance in recent years: Catwoman’s ongoing series, from Jo Duffy and Jim Balent, launched in 1993, and while undoubtedly popular, was also controversial because of its highly fetishized portrayal of Selina Kyle. Judge for yourselves, as we now have the first issue, embossed for your enjoyment, NM p £8. Nightwing, the former Robin the Boy Wonder, graduated from the Batman’s shadow and gained his own solos series in 1995; a four-issue mini-series with a one-off special, “Alfred’s Return”, as a kind of coda, we are selling the complete series, #1-4 + Special, all NM p for £25 (#1 pictured below). And finally, the biggest surprise – at least to Old Gits like ourselves – issue #1 of the first Batman Beyond mini-series, from 1999, which marked the comic book debut of the character Terry McGinnis, a near-future teen who takes over the Batman mantle from Bruce Wayne in the then-popular TV cartoon. This is a NM copy on sale for £20.
