King Arthur returns to Earth in the year 3000 to save the world from Morgan Le Fey and invading Aliens. But as Britain's greatest monarch prepares for battle, and his knights gather around him, a fateful tragedy begins to play itself out once again...
This graphic novel collects the original 12-issue series published by DC Comics, one of the first deluxe, Direct-Only mini-series.

Kelley Puckett has been the regular BATGIRL monthly writer for years, with only a few time-outs for fill-in issues. He's also written for BATMAN ADVENTURES, GREEN ARROW, and LEGENDS OF THE DC UNIVERSE. Damion Scott has drawn for DETECTIVE COMICS and BATMAN: LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT.

Kelley Puckett's script work for BATGIRL: A KNIGHT ALONE is excellent. The story flows quickly through the action and meat of the plot. Driven along by razor-edged, lean dialogue and first-person narrative that adds tension, insight, and immediacy. Puckett has created a very savvy new heroine, yet at the same time gifted her with a vulnerability that draws the reader's interest. Cassandra Cain has basically been plucked from everything she's known and plopped down in an alien world. With the addition of the speech ability, she lost much of the nature of herself. Of course, having constant stories without the character speaking would become impossible after a time, and the way that Puckett chose to deal with the issue was good, solid work that comes from the character herself rather than the writer's need to erase a problematic point. Damion Scott's pencil work is a beautiful blend of reality and manga. He works with intricate backgrounds or with no background at all, drawing the eye naturally through the story and pushing the action scenes into sequences that explode from the pages. When someone gets hit in the book, Scott puts the reader into that impact, on both the delivering and receiving ends with equal skill. Most of all Cassandra Cain comes off as a real character, even when literally dodging bullets sprayed at her from an automatic weapon. Her relationships with Batman and Barbara Gordon have a familiar feel to them, adding layers to those characters as well as her own. Scott renders Cassandra as very human and very compassionate. She has wide, knowing yet innocent eyes, and can smirk in disdain or smile with real humor at the drop of a hat-just as the young woman she's written to be can. She wins and she loses fights in the graphic novel, and neither of those comes without a price. Batgirl is an endearing character, and one that has much to learn about herself and the world she's chosen to inhabit.

BATGIRL: A KNIGHT ALONE is recommended for any fan of Batman. And Kelly Puckett's authorial skills rank right up there with Chuck Dixon, Devin Grayson, and Denny O'Neill.
