BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #1 (OF 4) FACSIMILE EDITION
Description
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1 (of 4) Facsimile Edition reissues the opening chapter of the landmark 1986 miniseries by Frank Miller, a turning point in superhero comics. Set a decade after Batman's apparent retirement, the story follows a now-aged Bruce Wayne who nonetheless answers Gotham's call when violence, political brinksmanship, and inner demons threaten the city. Miller's stark, cinematic storytelling pairs with his own art to deliver a taut, morally complex tale: a veteran vigilante returning to the cape and cowl, old foes resurfacing, and an inner demon that cannot stay caged. This facsimile preserves the look and pacing of the original, capturing the brutal energy, stark imagery, and controversial ideas that reshaped Batman and the superhero genre. A must-read for fans of ambitious, character-driven comics and anyone interested in the era-defining vision that changed Batman forever.
