Batman: Dark Victory HC Hardcover Jeph Loeb Tim Sale 1st Print 1st Edition NEW

Description: DC Comics Batman: Dark Victory Jeph Loeb Tim Sale For sale is "Batman: Dark Victory." This hardcover graphic novel is the sequel to the renowned "Batman: The Long Halloween," and is equally renowned in its own right. Incredibly important and influential in the Batman canon, it features another strong collaboration between superstars Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale , working at the top of their game - and yielding perhaps an even better-crafted mystery than "The Long Halloween" was. Following the fall of Harvey Dent and his transformation into Two-Face in the preceding book, "Dark Victory," takes places amidst the final, faltering conflicts between the old-school mob and the new, rising supervillains that would become synonymous with Gotham, when another serial killer debuts - the "Hangman Killer." At the same time, a lasting partnership is born, between Batman and young Dick Grayson, who dons the costume of Robin after witnessing his parents' murder. This is one of the greatest Batman stories ever told, with lovely, stylistic artwork set against a moody, film noir atmosphere. Sale's artwork reaches an emotional high that remains unsurpassed throughout the rest of his career. "Dark Victory" served as a direct inspiration and influence on Christopher Nolan's incredible "Dark Knight" film trilogy. It's a real treat to follow Batman through both a year-long, epic mystery, as we see why he is truly the World's Greatest Detective, while also seeing the definitive origin Batman's most famous partner - Dick Grayson, the first Robin. Besides the heroes and the mob, we also see major appearances from all across Batman's famous Rogues Gallery, including the Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Solomon Grundy, Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and a revamped Calendar Man. This book is very rare and difficult to find in hardcover - it is the first printing of the first edition and is unread and in excellent condition (with superior production design and quality to the more recently released Deluxe Edition). I would say it was in mint condition, if it weren't for the very slightest amount of shelf wear along the edges of the dust jacket, from where it sat on the comic book store shelf. Please see the pictures for details. The binding is still tight and strong and the colors and inks remain bold and unfaded, with no page folds, creases, rips, or tears of any kind. The book was stored in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! Thank you! ABOUT ME I am a longtime Ebayer - both buying and selling for over 20 years, with a spotless record. This is because smooth, pleasant transactions and customer service are important to me. I've recently created this new account to separate my non-comics purchases from my comic book buying/selling. While its 100% positive feedback rating over the past several years speaks for itself, I am happy to provide you my personal Ebay account which also has 100% positive feedback over two decades. As a longtime Batman fan, I also know how important comic book condition is to collectors and readers, so you can feel comfortable knowing your purchases will be well taken care of! SHIPPING and OTHER TERMS Per Ebay rules, payment is expected within 4 days of the auction end, and I will ship within 3 business days of receiving payment - if payment is received by early evening, usually most items will ship the next business day (including Saturdays). Free shipping will be done via Media Mail in the lower 48 states. Customers from other states (or countries) can inquire for a shipping quote, but it will be more expensive. If a delivery cannot be made by the post office and the item is automatically returned by mail, I am willing to attempt a second shipment - however, the buyer will have to pay for the actual shipping cost of this second attempt (even if the first delivery was made via a "Free Shipping" option or a combined shipping discount was applied for the initial shipment). If an item is damaged in transit or does not otherwise match the original item description, I will provide a full refund - customer satisfaction is important to me. However, all items should be returned in the condition in which they were received. For example, if an item is sent sealed in the original shrink-wrap, it should be returned still sealed in the original shrink-wrap (guaranteeing the item was damaged in shipment and not after receipt). Items returned for reasons other than damage not mentioned in the listing (i.e., mistaken ordering, etc.) must also be sent in the condition in which they were received, and buyers will be assessed a $10 restocking fee per book. I am only interested in transactions with pleasant buyers who are purchasing and operating on Ebay in good faith. To that end, I will cancel any order from any problematic buyers or buyers with red flags. Red flags include: Large amounts of negative feedback from prior transactions High-value purchases from a brand new account without a transaction history Leaving negative feedback for invalid reasons (such as blaming sellers for USPS shipping delays that are out of their hands) Higher-than-average amount of negative feedback left for others More than 99% of my interactions on Ebay, as both a buyer and a seller, have been positive. If you seem to consistently have problems with other sellers, then the problem probably has less to do with other sellers and more to do with yourself - and out of respect for both your time and mine, I would rather not engage in a transaction that may leave either one of us feeling unhappy.
