DC Comics – The Legend of Batman[1] is a fortnightly partwork magazine published by Eaglemoss Collections and DC Comics. The series is a collection of special edition hardback graphic novels, that tell Batman's life story from beginning to end. The series follows the success of the DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection, which itself began in 2015 with the Batman story Hush.
The collection started in countries like France,[2] but with a different order and contents. The debut issue, Batman: Zero Year Part 1, was released in the U.K. on 27 December 2017 at the special price of £2.99, before gradually rising to £10.99 per issue. Eaglemoss Collections notified subscribers in January 2021 that, due to its success, the collection would be extended to 100 issues (see list below).
