Overview

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. Sometimes careless and naive, this Dark Knight is far from the flawless vigilante he is today.

In his first year on the job, Batman feels his way around a Gotham City far darker than the one he left. His solemn vow to extinguish the town's criminal element is only half the battle; along with Lieutenant James Gordon, the Dark Knight must also fight a police force more corrupt than the scum in the streets.

Batman: Year One stands next to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns on the mantle of greatest Batman graphic novels of all time. Timeless in its appeal, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's masterpiece would stand apart from the crowded comics field even today.

This edition includes the complete graphic novel, a new introduction by writer Frank Miller and a new illustrated afterword by artist David Mazzucchelli. Completing this collection are over 40 pages of never-before-seen developmental material such as character and layout sketches, sample script pages, sketches, and more that pro-vide a glimpse into the making of this contemporary classic.

This volume collects Batman #404-407.

  • The most influential graphic novel ever.

    david t. - 5 years 10 months ago

    Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns is simply the most important graphic novel ever. This imagining of a future Batman after a 10 year absence is responsible (along with "Watchmen") for the comic related world being what it is today. This story influenced Tim Burton in his (what at the time was considered) much darker version of Batman when he made his Michael Keaton movies. This is the comic that got Kevin Smith back into comics after he had sold his collection. You owe it to yourself if you have never read it to check it out.#summerreading

  • One of the best Batman stories of all time.

    Shawn S. - 5 years 11 months ago

    Frank Miller is definitely one of the best Batman writers, and this story is his take on Batman’s early years. The comic focuses a lot on how Batman got to be the crime fighter he is, but it also shows us how Jim Gordon came to be. It is a must read for Batman fans and a good companion piece to The Dark Knight Returns.
