Notes:
Synopsis: In 1971, writer Denny O'Neil, a hot young talent in the comics industry, introduced a new villain to the Batman mythos, Ra's al Ghul, the Demon. A man of great power and indeterminate background, Ra's al Ghul quickly became on of the Dark Knight's greatest -- and most popular -- foes.
Now, more than twenty years later, Denny teams with painter Norm Breyfogle, the premier Batman artist of the '90s, to finally reveal the never-before-told secret origin of Ra's al Ghul.
In a saga that spans continents and centuries, a poisoned Dark Knight races against death to bring an end to the reign of the Demon, and in the process uncovers the tortured past that gave birth to his most powerful enemy. Will either man survive their epic confrontation?
