Hellboy's Mike Mignola just did a stunning Batman cover for a story that rectifies the Dark Knight's greatest mistake almost 40 years later

From the Vault: Death in the Family: Robin Lives! #1 cover art by Mike Mignola.

What if Jason Todd had lived in the original Batman: Death in the Family story, back in 1988? That question was partially answered in DC's recent "fauxsimile" printing of Batman #428 with an ending where Jason lives instead of dies. But now the publisher is digging even deeper into the ramifications of a world where Jason Todd never died in the improbably named From the DC Vault: Death in the Family: Robin Lives! #1, a new four-issue limited series coming this summer.

Also along for the ride is artist Mike Mignola, who provides a variant cover for Robin Lives! #1 which pays homage to his own covers for Batman #426-429, the issues in which the original Batman: Death in the Family story was told, seen here.
