This is what we've been waiting for: Batman Year One Artist Edition by comic legends Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli! This fantastic 14x21 inch (35x53cm) collection represents the original artworks' sizes, reinterpreting Batman's origin.
Almost 40 years ago, in 1986, Frank and David created this revolutionary new approach to Batman's origin story. In the relatable story, we see Batman in his first year as a vigilante trying to make the streets of Gotham City a safer place. However, this Dark Knight is far from the one we know today. We see a much younger, more naive, and careless Batman who returns to a much darker Gotham than what he had left.
Vowing to extinguish crime, Batman is faced with the reality that the Police Force is, in part, more corrupt than the actual criminals he's getting off the street. Together with his (soon-to-be) friend Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman matures into the Dark Knight.
Batman Year One and Batman: The Dark Knight are considered the best Batman graphic novels of all time. It's only fitting that Year One gets an appropriate revival, including previously unpublished behind-the-scenes pages and layout pages that bring an entirely new perspective to this masterpiece by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli.
Batman Year One Artist Edition is a must-have for Batman fans. It collects Batman #404–407 into one giant book that would be worthy of a place on any collector's mantle.
Because of its exceptional size, this book is available for individual ordering only and cannot be combined with other books, except that you can pair it with up to two other artist editions.
