The 1950s was a decade of change for the Dark Knight Detective, one that introduced new friends-and foes! These tales include the debuts of Deadshot, future member of the Suicide Squad, the original Batwoman, Kathy Kane, Mr. Zero, who would go on to greater fame as the nefarious Mr. Freeze, the original Red Hood, and the pesky interdimensional pixie known as Bat-Mite. This was also an era of great inventiveness, with tales that revealed how Batman’s own father, Thomas Wayne, was once a Batman himself, how Batman became a Superman-like hero on the distant planet Zur-En-Arrh, the secrets of Batman’s utility belt, and the introduction of an all-new Batmobile.

A gorgeous graphic memoir about loss, love, and confronting grief. When Kristen Radtke was in college, the sudden death of a beloved uncle and the sight of an abandoned mining town after his funeral marked the beginning moments of a lifelong fascination with ruins and with people and places left behind. Over time, this fascination deepened until it triggered a journey around the world in search of ruined places. She leads us through deserted cities in the American Midwest, an Icelandic town buried in volcanic ash, islands in the Philippines, New York City, and the delicate passageways of the human heart. Along the way, we learn about her family and a rare genetic heart disease that has been passed down through generations, and revisit tragic events in America's past.
