Batman: The Cult TPB - Trade Paperback - Jim Starlin Jason Todd Deacon Blackfire

Description: DC Comics Batman: The Cult Jim Starlin Bernie Wrightson For sale is "Batman: The Cult." This softcover graphic novel collects the entire four-part prestige miniseries, from writer Jim Starlin and artist Bernie Wrightson. A hugely influential storyline, "The Cult" introduces longtime villain Deacon Blackfire, who assembles a cult from the homeless population of Gotham City, spurring them to violent revolution against the corrupt city government - taking control of the city, including capturing and brainwashing Batman! This is probably Jason Todd's most significant storyline as Robin (other than his later death, of course), introduces a longtime member of the Rogues Gallery, and also features the debut of the "Monster Truck" Batmobile. "The Cult" would go on to be the inspiration for important storylines like "No Man's Land," while also serving as a direct reference for Chris Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises." An under-rated gem, "The Cult" is one of the most important Batman stories from the 1980s (second only to "Year One" and "The Dark Knight Returns"), featuring a darker take on the character than was featured in the monthly comics at the time, and is filled with gorgeous artwork, enhanced by sophisticated, lovely coloring. This copy is from the first printing of this edition, meaning it features better printing/coloring (modern reprintings have muddier, blurred art reproduction). This book is in good condition, given its age. There is some light shelf wear at the corners of the front and back cover, and some minor dings at the top of the spine. However, the inside is in excellent condition, with the coloring remaining completely unfaded, no tears, rips, or loose pages, and a tight, intact binding. Please see the pictures for details. It 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.
