JLA: Riddle of the Beast

    (DC, 2001)
™ and ©2001 DC Comics, Inc.

Super-heroes meet Lord of the Rings in this Elseworlds epic fantasy tale. Here, familiar characters such as Superman, Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman are reimagined as elves, monsters and mystical heroes. When Robin of Haven is summoned by the mighty Riddler for a great quest, little does he suspect the grand adventures that await him. When his village is destroyed and his true love lost, Robin’s only choice is to press forward. Through the course of his journeys, he teams with the demon “Batman,” helps King Kal-El fight for his kingdom against the evil Rex Luthor, and aids the sorceress Zatanna in averting the end of the world. All in a day’s work for Robin Drake, the swashbuckling rogue of Haven!

Riddle of the Beast features character designs by the great Michael W. Kaluta and painted art by a virtual Who’s Who of comic talent.
