 In 1986, DC Comics released the writer–penciler Miller's "", a four-issue miniseries printed in what the publisher called "prestige format"—squarebound, rather than stapled; on heavy-stock paper rather than newsprint, and with cardstock rather than glossy-paper covers.It was inked by Klaus Janson and colored by Lynn Varley.The story tells how Batman retired after the death of the second Robin (Jason Todd) and, at age 55, returns to fight crime in a dark and violent future.
