Batman vs. Robin #1 (Raw VF/NM) - DC Comics (Francesco Mattina Virgin Variant Cover)

Add an exquisite virgin incentive variant to your inventory with Batman vs. Robin #1, published by DC Comics! Written by comic legend Mark Waid with interior artwork by Mahmud Asrar and colors by Jordie Bellaire, this premiere issue kicks off the explosive 5-issue miniseries setting up the major Lazarus Planet event.

This release features a full-bleed Virgin Variant Cover completely free of title trade dress and logo distraction, highlighting the art in its pure form. The bottom-left edge features subtle publisher copyright fine print reading "TM & © DC COMICS".

The dramatic, highly detailed cover artwork—crafted by renowned digital master artist Francesco Mattina—features Batman (Bruce Wayne) crouched atop a menacing, dragon-like gargoyle perch. With his bat-wings spread wide and grappling line swung out, he stands in front of a glowing red moon emblazoned with a spray-painted Robin "R" insignia against the dark, bat-filled Gotham City skyline.

In this premiere issue, ancient dark magic infects Gotham City, driving a wedge between father and son and setting off a high-stakes battle of wits and combat between Batman and Damian Wayne.

This unslabbed raw comic issue is in top-tier collectible condition (estimated VF/NM 9.0 or better), with sharp edges, a clean spine, and rich red-and-black contrast—making it a prized centerpiece for Batman, Damian Wayne, Francesco Mattina, virgin variant, and DC key issue collectors.
