Summary

This issue of Robin, titled "Dark is the Night," is written by Chuck Dixon and drawn by Pete Woods and belongs to the run in which Tim Drake serves as Robin. Man-Bat is appearing everywhere in Gotham City; Robin seeks help from private detective Jason Bard to deal with the situation and obtains from Bard four doses of antidote made from Kirk Langstrom's serum. Following the trail to the riverside, he first fights Francine Langstrom and restores her to human form, only to learn that her son Aaron has been a Man-Bat since birth. Robin tries to use Aaron to find his father, but Aaron is attacked by the new villain the hunter Yeager; Robin is then entangled by Kirk's daughter Becky and can only give chase after Francine intervenes to help. Yeager faces both Aaron and his father Kirk and is ultimately subdued. Robin successfully injects the antidote into Kirk and Becky, and the family is reunited. Aaron, however, is congenitally mutated and still needs to find another cure. This is issue #77 of the series; it has nothing to do with Marvel Comics, and information on the Chinese-language version is unknown.

Editor's review

这是《罗宾》连载里少见的人蝠家庭主题单期:不靠大场面,而是用一次“解药追捕”把朗斯特罗姆一家四口的处境铺开——妻子、女儿、被感染的丈夫,以及生来就是人蝠的儿子。狄克逊的写法干脆利落,罗宾在本期里既是行动派也是“解决问题的人”:找杰森·巴德取血清、潜入学校取回麻醉枪、在河边逐一施打解药,都显出提姆式的细致与算计。皮特·伍兹的画风干净,人蝠造型的剪影与河边追逐节奏明快;新反派猎手耶格尔虽登场不多,却把“人蝠是猎物”的题眼点了出来。结尾一家人重聚,但亚伦的问题没有解决,留下余味。适合补完90年代《罗宾》连载、或对蝙蝠侠系人蝠支线感兴趣的读者。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 喜欢90年代DC蝙蝠家族连载的读者
  • 对蝙蝠侠系人蝠(Man-Bat)支线感兴趣的读者
  • 想补齐提姆·德雷克时期《罗宾》单期的读者
  • 偏爱小规模、家庭主题漫画故事的人

Not a good fit for

  • 期待大事件或跨刊联动的读者
  • 只看画风华丽、大场面对决的读者
  • 对人蝠、变异生物题材不感兴趣的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读第76期,理清人蝠扩散的起因,再看本期的收束。
  2. 留意罗宾与杰森·巴德的对话,那里交待了朗斯特罗姆一家多年来的变化。
  3. 读完本期后可接第78期,看亚伦的治疗问题如何延续。
  4. 若只有汉化扫描版,注意核对期号,勿与《蝙蝠侠》第77期混为一谈。

FAQ

这本是漫威漫画吗?
不是。这是DC出版的《罗宾》第77期,主角为提姆·德雷克,故事围绕蝙蝠侠系反派兼角色人蝠(Man-Bat)展开。所谓“漫威漫画合集”一说并不成立。
这一期和《蝙蝠侠》第77期是同一本吗?
不同。《蝙蝠侠》第77期(2019年)属“贝恩之城”故事线,主角是达米安·韦恩;本期《罗宾》第77期于2000年出版,主角是提姆·德雷克,讲的是人蝠一家。
没读过前面几期能看懂吗?
基本可以。本期是“人蝠追捕”故事的收尾部分,主线清楚;但人蝠扩散的起因在第76期,补读前一期会更完整。
这期有中文汉化吗?
目前未查到权威出版的简体中文版本信息,市面上可能存在爱好者汉化,期号与版本需自行核对,出版社、译者等信息均无法确认。
