Ra's al Ghul, longlived ecoterrorist and founder of the League of Assassins, has proven through the years to be one of Batman's most formidable adversaries. Accompanied by his beautiful daughter Talia, Ra's has proven elusive, tempting and very, very dangerous. This volume collects the earliest Ra's a Ghul stories, all written by long time BATMAN author and editor Denny O'Neil, aided by some of the Batman's bestknown artists Neal Adams, Michael Golden, Irv Novick, Bob Brown and Dick Giordano. There's also an introduction by Sam Hamm, screenwriter of 1989's Batman.
