The Death of Parents in the Comics

[da3dl3us]

Trying to find an issue or graphic novel that portrays the death of Bruce's parents the best. A lot of them are very quick shots to the night, but if I were to recommend a issue to a non-comic book reader that really captures that moment, which would it be?

The Man Who Falls is good one

year one.

Dark Knight Returns has a great version, though it may not be what you're looking for.

I personally love how it was done in DKR, since its such an iconic moment (the symbolism behind the shattering pearl necklace).

yeah, I read that one. It's actually a good retelling, but Thomas Wayne comes across as a real jerk.

O'Neil is very good writer for Batman but I didn't like Thomas acting like that to Bruce.
