Summary

"Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger"

Description

One of the most important and critically acclaimed graphic novels of all time is now presented in a deluxe hardcover edition, including many of the extras and bonus materials from ABSOLUTE BATMAN- YEAR ONE. In 1986, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli produced this groundbreaking reinterpretation of the origin of Batman--who he is and how he came to be. Written shortly after THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Miller's dystopian fable of Batman's final days, YEAR ONE set the stage for a new vision of a legendary character. This new edition includes artist David Mazzucchelli's original pencil pages, sketches and script pages from Frank Miller, along with other bonus materials. Collects BATMAN #404-407.

About the Author

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. In 2015, Miller returned to his best-selling series with the highly anticipated DARK KNIGHT III- MASTER RACE.
