*DC: One of the most controversial storylines of the Modern Age was the ‘A Death in the Family’ four-parter, wherein the second Robin, Jason Todd, fell foul of the Joker while on the trail of his parents, and – in a move that caused highly-lucrative publicity – Robin’s final fate was determined by a phone-in hotline. (Don’t try calling in now, kids – the phone lines are closed, but you may still be charged…) The tale ran over Batman issues #426-429 in 1988, and all four parts are back in stock. Issue #426 is VF/NM p £17.50, #427 VF p £10, #428 VF/NM £25 and #429 VF/NM p £10.
