This article is part of the DC Database Recommended Reading project, a series of articles written by our editors. They are meant as a guide to help both new and old readers, either getting into comics for the first time or looking to read more on their favorites. These should not be taken as a definitive guide; obviously you can start wherever and with whatever you want, but they're some general suggestions that we think you might find enjoyable.
Tails, you read. Heads... you lose!
Two-Face was previously known as Harvey Dent; Gotham City's District Attorney. A righteous man to the core, he chased down criminals and sought the elimination of organized crime from the city. However, his life took a wrong turn when he was attacked during a trial and his face was scarred in half with acid. Losing the notion of right and wrong, Dent adopted the identity of Two-Face and started creating his own balance using his trademark coin.
Two-Face's obsession has made of him a formidable enemy, as his crimes would always have a second layer and his purpose is dictated by chance.
