Robin: Year One by Chuck DixonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'll say it outright - I love Dick Grayson. I think he's a fascinating character and a rare breed; he's often drawn for female audiences.
But this book isn't about all that. This features a very young Robin, still finding the ropes in his relationship with Batman. The story plonks us right in the middle of their crime-fighting. Our omniscient narrator is Alfred, who brings heart and both sides of the characters' points of view.
The story centers around Two-Face, and his antics. It's an important part of Robin's lesson, how Two-Face manipulates people to do his bidding.
I wasn't a big fan of the art - it's a little too retro with a touch of anime thrown in.
A good read as an added look into Dick's growth as Robin and his eventual transformation into Nightwing.
