Description: DC Comics Legends of the Dark Knight Norm Breyfogle - Volumes 1 and 2 For sale is a lot of two books, "Legends of the Dark Knight: Norm Breyfogle - Volume 1" and "Legends of the Dark Knight: Norm Breyfogle - Volume 2." These hardcover graphic novels collect most of superstar artist Norm Breyfogle's work on Batman throughout the years. Breyfogle's Batman was the quintessentially 90s Batman, combining realistic linework with terrifying exaggeration, particularly when it came to his characters' expressions and emotions. Breyfogle was famous for his longtime collaborations with writers John Wagner and Alan Grant, including many of the stories here. You'll find terrific one-shots stories as well as multi-part stories, collected in full (unlike other "Legends of the Dark Knight" hardcovers, which often feature fragmented stories). Classic rogues make multiple appearances, like the Joker, Penguin, and Scarecrow - and one can't forget the epic four-part "Mud Pack" storyline, where all of the clayfaces came together to form an unstoppable team of villainy! Meanwhile, these stories also include the first appearances of villains who would become modern mainstays of Batman's Rogues Gallery, including Ratcatcher, Cornelius Stirk, and Scarface & The Ventriloquist. Other notable first appearances from less villanous recurring characters include Harold and Anarky, to say nothing of the debut of Tim Drake as the third Robin! All in all, Volume 1 collects "Batman Annual" #11-12 and "Detective Comics" #579, 582-594, and 601-607. Volume 2 collects "Batman" #448-451 and #455-459, "Detective Comics" #608-621, and pinup art from "Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe" #5, #8, #10, #13, #14 and #16. These stories aren't just important to the Batman canon - they're also gorgeously rendered, with pages that are a nice, thick glossy stock, with beautiful, bold colors and lovely art reproduction. These are truly deluxe collections, which are out of print and increasingly difficult to find. Collectors may be interested to know that these copies are from the first printing of these editions. These book are brand new, unread, and in excellent condition. Volume 1 is in pretty much mint condition, while the only notable defect on Volume 2 is a very minor stress line on the bottom of the dust jacket at the spine. Please see the pictures for details. The interiors are pristine. The bindings are strong and tight, and there are no tears, rips, folds, creases, or loose pages. They were 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.
