Description

New tpb – retail 19.99 – The Dark Knight Strikes Again (3-issue mini; w & a Frank Miller). [From DC Comics: The eagerly anticipated sequel to BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS is gathered together for the first time with THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN—a 256-page hardcover written and illustrated by Frank Miller with magnificent colors by Lynn Varley. This incredible volume, designed by multiple award-winner Chip Kidd, features an introduction by Miller commenting on returning to the world he created fifteen years ago. The book includes the complete 3-part story, plus sketches, color samples and other never-before-seen material. It’s been three years since the events of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, and everything is just fine—at least on the surface. What the world at large doesn’t know is that it’s a total sham. A perfectly choreographed, pretty little world where everything that’s ugly, or even potentially disturbing, is all nicely wrapped up with neat little ribbons and swept under the carpet. Only he knows better. He’s watched it fester to near-breaking point, and it’s time for the only free man left who can effect any real change to bring it all down around their ears once and for all. The Dark Knight returns once again with a vitality unseen since the first years of his war on crime. Together with his army of Bat-soldiers, including Carrie Kelly—formerly Robin, and now the new Catgirl—the Dark Knight wages a new war on a diseased world that’s become completely lost. THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN features appearances by such DC icons as Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, the Atom, the Question, and more. But are they still the World’s Greatest Heroes?]
