The Long Halloween saw Batman pitted against a ominous serial murderer, the Holiday Killer. The mystery unraveled as not only a key story in the Batman mythos, but served as a vital reinterpretation of the Dark Knight’s second year fighting crime. The original series served as a transition from the mobster stories of Year One to the more costume-centric conflicts. Now, writer Jeph Loeb is closing out the loop of the story involving Robin, with a rotating cast of artists in honor of Tim Sale’s memory.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #4
ROBIN LEAPS INTO ACTION! In 1996, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale teamed up for Batman: The Long Halloween, an award-winning 13-chapter saga that spawned multiple sequels and stands as the most influential Batman story of its era. Now Loeb returns to the world of The Long Halloween for its long-anticipated final act — Batman The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween, an all-new 10-part mystery continuing the story from 2021’s Batman: The Long Halloween Special. In each issue, Loeb will be joined by one of the top artists in comics, in a beautiful and lovingly crafted tribute to Sale’s art and legacy. With a life hanging precariously in the balance, the Boy Wonder decides to take matters into his own hands!
