DC Finest: Batman: The Demon Lives Again! collects the saga that came to define some of the Dark Knight’s greatest enemies for decades to come—including the first appearance of Ra's al Ghul!

As the 1960s gave way to the 1970s, a darker, more serious tone began to take hold in Gotham City—an atmosphere generated by the dynamic, expressive artwork of Neal Adams, Dick Giordano, and Irv Novick that accompanied the intricate, thoughtful writing of authors Dennis O’Neil and Frank Robbins. And these titanic talents burned brightest around Batman’s newest and deadliest foe—the immortal Ra’s al Ghul!

Now, for the first time ever, all of these era-defining tales are available in a single historic collection. Featuring such celebrated tales as “Daughter of the Demon,” “The Lazarus Pit,” and “The Demon Lives Again,” this timeless tome presents the Dark Knight Detective with some of his greatest challenges from his most ruthless antagonist—as well as plenty of other formidable foes!

Collects Batman #231-245 and Detective Comics #410-429.

About the authors

Dennis O'Neil

Dennis O'Neil began his career as a comic book writer in 1965 at Charlton, where then-editor Dick Giordano assigned him to several features. When Giordano moved to DC, O'Neil soon followed. At DC, O'Neil scripted several series for Giordano and Julius Schwartz, quickly becoming one of the most respected writers in comics. O'Neil earned a reputation for being able to "revamp" such characters as Superman, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel, and Batman, whom O'Neil brought back to his roots as a dark, mysterious, gothic avenger. Besides being the most important Batman writer of the 1970s, O'Neil served as an editor at both Marvel and DC. After a long tenure as Group Editor of the Batman line of titles, he retired to write full-time.
