Batman Legends (Panini)

Batman Legends was one of the line of "Collectors Editions" published by Panini UK, reprinting American material. Unlike the majority of Panini's titles however, Batman Legends reprinted material originally published by DC Comics (the remainder of the line reprinted material published by rival Marvel Comics and was marketed under the Marvel UK name). Batman Legends typically contained three issues of various Batman related US titles per issue, with a cover price of £2.40 (rising to £2.50 with issue #30). It focused primarily on more or less new material, but did include classic reprints from the 1970s and 1980s, mostly from the pages of team-up title The Brave & the Bold. The series lasted 41 issues in total from January 2003 to January 2006, after which it was relaunched as Batman Legends Vol II by Titan Magazines, who had obtained the licence to publish a line of DC reprint titles.
