Batman Masters Collection
Set of 120 trading cards, with front art by artists Scott Hampton, Carl Critchlow, Duncan Segredo, and Dermot Power. The flip sides of the first 90 cards, when read in order, form a cohesive story line in which Batman fakes his own death. The set also provides a look at the posthumous feelings of the residents of Gotham City and Arkham Asylum towards the Dark Knight. A special collector's binder was also released for the card set. This card set was re-printed as a 208-page coffee table book entitled Batman Masterpieces. It contains full-page reproductions of the card art opposite the card's text (so one can still follow the story, art concepts (instructions to the artists), and comments by the artist. Additionally, early sketches have been printed for most of the cards.
A short story collection about how Batman uses clues found at crime scenes to foil the plans of his most famous villains. Each chapter is a different case presented from the notes, journals, and case files of the Batman, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, and Jim Gordon.
Original Screenplay for the Red Sonja movie. The movie was later rewritten and changed quite a bit from its original form.
