A gorgeous gallery saluting the (superior) sequel to The Long Halloween…
Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s The Long Halloween gets all the buzz. I get it. It’s first rate. But if you ask me (and you didn’t), I liked its sequel, 1999-2000’s Dark Victory even better.
It goes over a lot of the same ground as its predecessor but what kicks it up a notch is that it really works as a modern Robin origin story. I’d even argue that, to date, it’s the best of its kind. So, with the late Tim Sale’s birthday here — he was born 68 years ago, on May 1, 1956 — here are the series’ 13 COVERS (with a bonus, Wizard-published #0 issue thrown in for completists’ sake).
Right on.

Really love all of these. I always think of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now when I see the ‘Fools’ cover.

I agree, love this series better than the Long Halloween. Great stuff.

These covers are so dang good. The Scarecrow and Joker covers are the things of nightmares.

The Calendar Man cover is my favorite.
