Batman: Year One - Frank Miller

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.
