Want It Got It TPB: Vigilante

COMING SOON on 04/04/17: Vigilante by Marv Wolfman Vol. 1.
Collects NEW TEEN TTIANS ANNUAL #2 and VIGILANTE #1-11


 
Writer: Marv Wolfman
Artist:
Various
Publisher: DC Comics (1983-1984)
Includes:
The New Teen Titans Annual #2 and Vigilante #1-7

Clipped from Wikipedia: The character was revived and updated in 1983's New Teen Titans Annual #2 by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez.

History:
Adrian Chase (Vigilante) is a New York district attorney whose family was killed by mobsters. This caused Chase to seek justice in his own way as the Vigilante. The character was one of the first amoral characters in American comic books, influenced by the Punisher from Marvel Comics and The Executioner series of novels. 

Synopsis: Spinning out of the very popular NEW TEEN TITANS series, this 1980s introduces New York City prosecuting attorney Adrian Chase, who takes the law into his own hands after the mob wipes out his family. As the Vigilante, Chase targets underworld leaders and takes them out without hesitation, but is haunted by his actions. Similar in tone to the GREEN ARROW tales of the same era, these gritty tales reflect the crime-ridden streets of 1980s New York City.
