Walt Simonson returns to the character that made him a comic book superstar this July for his latest creator-owned project from IDW Publishing.

25 Years Ago Today: Criminals Sucked Sidewalk
A quarter of a century ago, I went into New York to catch the first showing of a movie starring a certain caped crusader, and then went over to DC Comics to talk with everybody there. I had to do it in that order, because there would be no other topic of discussion in the office that day. Not that there had been much of one in the country before that, as any flat surface in America had a bat-logo pasted on it.
