Publisher's Synopsis
The first two volumes of the 'Darkman' superhero action franchise. In 'Darkman' (1990) Doctor Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson)'s attempts to clone body parts via computer are disturbed when his laboratory is torched by a gang of thugs, with Westlake left for dead. Horribly disfigured, he uses his equipment to survive, reinventing himself as Darkman. Obssessed with revenging himself on sadistic gang leader Robert G. Durant (Larry Drake), Darkman is torn by his love for former girlfriend Julie (Frances McDormand), and struggles to reconcile the two, warring sides of his personality. In 'Darkman 2' (1994) Darkman (Arnold Vosloo replacing Liam Neeson as the disfigured superhero) is very close to discovering the secret of making himself whole again. However, a certain chain of events causes him to relive the nightmares which disfigured him, leading him and his assistant to discover that his old enemy, Robert G. Durant (Drake), is not dead as thought, but very much alive and kicking. Revenge, as they say, is sweet!
