Description

In 1986, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli produced this groundbreaking reinterpretation of the origin of Batmanwho 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 towns 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.

Recenzja
"This is a story no true Batman fan should be able to resist."
School Library Journal
A gritty and atmospheric retelling of Batmans earliest days as told by the author of the seminal
Dark Knight Returns
(1987). Mazuzuccellis art brings a new level of emotional instensity and realistic, muscular action.
