Robin II

    (DC, 1991-1992)
™ and ©1991 DC Comics, Inc.

The Joker is on the loose, and with Batman out of town, it falls to Robin to stop him before he destroys Gotham. This second Robin limited series begins with the Joker once again breaking out of Arkham Asylum. Then, with the help of a captured computer genius, the Joker breaks into the city’s computers, infecting them with a cleverly-written virus. Unless the city pays his ransom, he threatens to shut it down.

As remarkable for its marketing as for its story, this series appeared in a blitz of publicity. Each issue came with up to five different covers, many of which featured special holograms. In addition, DC packaged the various editions together in a number of regular and deluxe “Collectors Edition” sets. All this special packaging spurred the desired buying frenzy, with many collectors eagerly snatching up all the different permutations.
