WRITTEN BY FRANK MILLER; ART AND COVER BY MILLER AND KLAUS JANSON Over five years since it was last published in hardcover form, one of the most groundbreaking comic-book tales ever created returns in a new hardcover edition, also featuring a dust jacket designed by Chip Kidd! Writer/artist Frank Miller's classic tale BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS - NEW EDITION is a 224- page saga of a dark world and even darker knight. Joined by inker Klaus Janson and frequent colorist collaborator Lynn Varley, Miller reinvented the Batman story with this masterful tale taking place ten years after the Dark Knight retired from crimefighting. But crime itself has not gone away, and the man who was Batman is unable to exorcise the bitter memories of his parents' murders - making the long suppressed voice of his vigilante side aching to break through once more. The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of glory, fighting a new generation of crime in Gotham City. And he is not alone - soon he is joined by teenager Carrie Kelly who becomes an all-new Robin to complete the Dynamic Duo. But can they handle the likes of Two-Face and the Joker, when time has only made them crazier and deadlier than ever? And what of a certain Man of Steel, who disapproves of his former crimefighting friend's methods? THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS has been hailed as a comics masterpiece and is one of the most influential stories ever told in this medium. If you've never read this seminal work, then here's your chance to experience it in a handsome new hardcover volume. HC, 7X10, 224PG, FC Retail Price $24.95 $21.25 USA / $31.95 Can |
