Offered again! Rediscover the history of the Batman and the Penguin's greatest clashes before they return to the big screen in The Batman. Featuring stories from industry legends from throughout comics history, Batman: The Penguin collects Detective Comics #58, #610, #611, #824, Batman #155, #374, #548, #549, Batman: Penguin Triumphant #1, and Joker's Asylum: Penguin #1.
Okay, the DC thing is actually just another reprint of my JOKER'S ASYLUM: PENGUIN one shot from many years ago, reprinted just in time for the new Batman flick. This is a little story I'm particularly proud of. A deep dark dive into the warped mind of Oswald Cobblepot. And it's the only time I've ever written Batman in my career. For one whole panel at least. The only time I've ever written anything at all for the DCU.
Who knows, maybe someday that will change. But for now, it's back to work.
