Welcome to Litsy!

This is a true story about Paul Dini, a departure from his usual style of story telling. I am glad I picked it up and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

A #graphicnovel based on a true story. In the 1990‘s a writer for Batman The Animated Series was mugged and left for dead. In this book, Batman helps Dini mentally get past this vicious attack 🦇

This is awesome! It's Paul Dini telling his real life journey through the use of a Batman story.

If you are unaware of who Paul Dini is, he is revered as the mastermind behind Batman The Animated series as well as co-creator of Harley Quinn.

He has quite an interesting real life story and the way he tells it in this #GraphicNovel is incredibly gripping. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Also...I freaking love soup! Especially after 30 minutes of shovelling the front walk!

Who would take you to the hospital in an emergency?

The haul from the bookstore, all paid for with Christmas gift cards!

Paul Dini was severely beaten while he was working on Batman and that took its toll and brought up some other ongoing issues. Paul faces these effects through different Batman characters. Brilliant artwork and an awesome, redemptive story.

A great read for #BatmanDay.

This graphic novel based on a true incident is absolutely amazing. After the writer is physically and mentally destroyed by a mugging, he is brought down and then brought up by the animated characters he helps create.

I recently reviewed this book on the Z-Trigger podcast. Dini writes a painful autobiographical account of his assault and mugging in the early nineties when working on Batman: The Animated series. The art is as varied and beautiful as it difficult to look at. I'll say little else. It's a journey worth taking.

Very well done. Obviously it's not a traditional Batman story but I'd recommend it to anyone who was a fan of Batman the Animated Series, Tiny Toons and other 90s WB animation. There's also a surprise (at least to me) cameo for Neil Gaiman fans. But I think anyone who has gone through a difficult time and had their own inner Batman and Joker can find something in it. Check out Dini on the Nerdist Podcast from a while back if you can, too. So good.

Excited!

Amazing stuff, just gut-wrenchingly honest.

The author, a writer for the Batman animated series, tells the true story of the physical and emotional toll he suffered following a brutal attack using characters from that world to personify his feelings (some helpful, some destructive). I'm not much of a comic book reader, but this was great.
