Frank Miller's genre-defining graphic novel celebrates its 40th year anniversary with a new deluxe edition.
In 1986, comics visionary Frank Miller, along with Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley, reenvisioned the Dark Knight in a bold way that has since revolutionized the way people view superhero comics. It's been 10 years since the Batman was last seen, and Gotham City has since decayed into a cesspool of crime. But now something has stirred within Bruce Wayne, reminding him of the solemn vow he made to his parents. As Gotham falls prey to gangs and as the threat of nuclear war looms, Bruce can no longer stand by idly. The night belongs to Batman, and it's time to remind the world that justice still exists. This 40th anniversary deluxe edition of the beloved classic collects the original four-issue Prestige series and includes a new afterword by Miller; a tribute cover gallery featuring artwork by Jim Lee, Jock, and others; and more!Author Biography
Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s and rose to fame while first drawing, and then writing, Daredevil for Marvel Comics. He was also the creative force behind BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, BATMAN: YEAR ONE and BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN. His many works have not only redefined classic characters, but also, on a few occasions, revitalized the comics industry. His multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was brought to full-blooded life in the 2007 motion picture of the same name, and in 2008 he directed the feature film Will Eisner's The Spirit. His creator-owned crime saga Sin City first hit the page in 1991, and then the silver screen in 2005, with Miller on board as co-director with Robert Rodriguez. The two returned to direct the sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, released in 2014 and featuring two new stories by Miller.
