eBook Batgirl/Robin Year One epub

I'm a huge Batman fan, and knew this book would be great, but I didn't know how much I'd really love it. Amazing stories, great consistent art, and top notch paper quality.

If you read 'Dark Victory', you already know Robin's origin, this is a great follow up to that. Both his, and Batgirl's stories are packed into this nice sized book.

Arrived from Amazon in perfect condition, no bending, creasing, or damage of any kind to speak of. Highly recommend!

I've read this before, but trying to find one or the other books is nearly impossible anymore now and days. My only small nitpick if there was one was that they had the pages that were glossy then the old paper ones that I remember - at least from Robin Year One, but that was not much of a complaint.

Dick Gtayson's origin story has been told 100 plus times since he debuted in the early 40s. So has Barbara Gordon's. Though Robin: Year One doesn't retell Dick's story like Batgirl: Year One does Barbara's, it does tell has how Dick's life as Robin went the first year he was a protege under Batman.

The New 52 aside - which would really make this series non-canon something to me is sad because this is some of the best Bat-comics that were written - at least from Chuck Dixon anyways. But fans of the old comics, or ones even if they never picked up a comic book could easily start reading this comic and not have to wonder what comics they'd have to read to know what happened prior. If one wanted to know more on what happened to Robin before Year One started - or even any mentions to Barbara Gordon before she became Batgirl, then yes I would read anything that was from the time period.

Would I recommend this comic to someone? Most definitely.

Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon. 2 kids who found purpose in Justice.
These stories are awesome.
One minor continuity error in that Gordon should already be Commissioner prior to these stories, but man the art and storytelling is so great in these two stories that you shouldn't pass it up.

Okay, I get it. Batgirl and Robin are not really that far removed from Batman but it was an awesome delight to see recommendations pop up for a Year One book that wasn't Batman. Seeing a early tale about the early days of Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon's mission for justice was exciting. These 2 stories really flowed together to make this book. Though it may not be the official canon for these characters (or maybe it is - its always impossible to tell with comics), it's worth a place in every Batman fan's shelf.

If you are a fan of Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, this is a must read. This is the origin story for her, and it is a very good story, well written, and ties in well with Robin's, and how she became a part of the batfamily. Robin's story is excellent too. I was never a fan of Robin until i read this book! Its the early days of Dick Grayson as Robin, but not the goofy 60s Robin, it fits in very well with modern day Batman and Robin, and the end of Dark Victory flows right into this year one book.

I purchased this as a gift and was happy to give it. It is a quality comic and a substantial volume. If you are a comic lover you will appreciate this book!

I'm getting into Batman, and I really love "feel good" stories... which you don't get a lot of in comics. Batgirl & Robin Year One is really great as both an introduction to the characters, and as a good Batman "family" story (stories).

Really love and recommend.

(Also, it's a super big book. So you won't breeze through it five minutes.)

Content-wise this entire book is a real treat. The art is a mix of golden era with modern smoothing and for me it's a fun way of adding to the Year One saga. The binding however has been a terrible issue for me. Towards the 5th issue of the Batgirl story single pages began to fall off the book. I'll now have to fix a total of about 16 pages. But hopefully you won't have to deal with that.

An excellent addition to any BatFan's library.
