Writer Denny O’Neil pens the ongoing series following the events of Batman: Sword of Azrael and Batman: Knightfall, the first Azrael ongoing series shows Azrael’s (Jean-Paul Valley) battles against the Order of St. Dumas, and ran for 100 issues between 1995 and 2003. Starting with issue #47, it was re-titled Azrael: Agent of the Bat in an attempt to boost sales by tying the series in with the rest of the Batman line, including Azrael as part of the team of Batman, Robin, and the new Batgirl (Cassandra Cain). The series has been included in Batman crossover events such as Contagion and Cataclysm.
Apart from battling against the Order of St. Dumas, Jean Paul takes the path to self-discovery regarding his origins, and dealing with some of Batman’s formidable foes such as Ra’s Al Ghul and Bane.
