DC Comics Celebrates the New Year With a 10 Cent Comic Book - Batman: The 10-Cent Adventure
For the first time in 40 years, DC Comics will be offering consumers a full color 32-page comic book for ten cents, announced Paul Levitz, Executive Vice President and Publisher.
On January 2nd, comic book fans will be able to purchase Batman: The Ten Cent Adventure, a special Caped Crusader tale that is sure to please both Batman fans and new readers alike with a classic crime noir storyline from a hot comics creative team - writer Greg Rucka, penciller Rick Burchett, Klaus Janson, and cover artist Dave Johnson.
"We're inviting Batman fans new and old to join us as we begin a major new moment in Batman's life," said Levitz, "And to make the invitation especially appealing, we're rolling back our cover price on this unique issue to 10 cents...a price comics haven't been for four decades!"
The 10-Cent Adventure follows a night in the life of Batman -- a night that ends with a terrible finality. When Batman responds to a series of crimes, little does he know that a tragedy is occurring in the one place in the world he considers safe. The 10-Cent Adventure ends with an intense cliffhanger, springboarding into a new storyline running through DC Comics' Batman-related comics in January and February 2002.
This one-shot also acts as a definitive primer on Batman: his origin, his motivation, and his methods, even his hours of operation. With the talent, the content and the price, this issue is a great one for new readers to sink their teeth into the Batman mythos.
BATMAN: THE 10-CENT ADVENTURE is a 32-page one-shot arriving in comic-book stores January 2 with a cover price of only 10 cent U.S.
Note that Batman: The 10 Cent Adventures will actually arrive in stores on January 3rd or 4th, due to the holidays.
