The Dark Knight Rises - KnightQuest: The Search

DECIPHERING DC

Welcome to yet another edition of Deciphering DC. We continue our look at Knightfall, now focusing on KnightQuest: The Search. It follows Bruce Wayne and Alfred in their quest for Jack Drake and Shondra Kinsolving. This phase of the Dark Knight has never been collected, and chances are, it still won’t be.

The storyline crosses over three titles –

- Justice League Task Force issues 5 & 6 written by Dennis O’Neil (incorrectly solicited as David Michelinie on one cover) and art and covers by Sal Velluto

- Batman: Shadow of the Bat issues 21-23 written by Alan Grant, art by Bret Blevins and covers by Brian Stelfreeze

- Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight issues 59-61 written by Dennis O’Neil, art by Ron Wagner and covers by Norm Breyfogle

Review: Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Writer : David Michelinie
Story : Father Roy Gasnick
Artists : John Tartaglione, Joe Sinnott



When I was a teenager, as a rule, I would not purchase comics made as biographies and autobiographies. I grew up reading a comic series from India called Amar Chitra Katha that introduced young readers to the history, mythology and culture of India. There were a gamut of stories, but I usually preferred the folktales as they were stories - escapist literature.
