Batman #244 – Facsimile Edition
Originally published September 1972 • Re‑released 5/20/2026
Written by Dennis O’Neil with art by Neal Adams, this facsimile edition restores one of the most iconic Batman stories ever printed—an unforgettable desert showdown that helped define the Bronze Age of the Dark Knight. In this legendary chapter of the Ra’s al Ghul saga, Batman faces his greatest rival in a brutal, sun‑scorched duel that strips both men down to their rawest instincts. Honor, vengeance, and destiny collide as Bruce Wayne confronts the Demon’s Head not as a detective or a caped crusader, but as a warrior.
O’Neil’s sharp, character‑driven script pairs seamlessly with Adams’ groundbreaking, hyper‑dynamic artwork—pages that have become some of the most reproduced and celebrated images in Batman history. From the sweeping desert vistas to the now‑classic sword duel, this issue stands as a masterclass in visual storytelling and dramatic tension.
The 2026 facsimile edition faithfully recreates the original 1972 release, complete with period‑accurate colors, lettering, and vintage ads, offering collectors the definitive way to experience this monumental Batman milestone.
