Product Description:
DC Comics Absolute Editions set the standard for the highest quality, most in-depth presentation of classic graphic novels. Each oversized volume is presented in a slipcase and includes unique additional material making each Absolute Edition a cornerstone of any serious comic collection.
On its publication in 1986, Frank Miller’s THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS changed the landscape of the graphic novel irrevocably. With its dark vision of Batman’s future and its stunning artwork, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS set the world on fire. 15 years later, Miller’s sequel, THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN, further redefined the boundaries of the superhero genre.
Now, both of these comics masterpieces are collected in one giant-sized slipcase edition for the first time ever. Frank Miller has provided a new introduction, a new cover and new art for the slipcase. This edition is also filled with bonus material featuring an excerpt from Miller’s original plot for DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #4, sketchbook material and much more.

A one-two punch of a set in one amazing volume. There are examples of a medium that so much represent the best there is that it transcends the traditional audience.

I'm sorry that I have to be the little skunk at this garden party. I can not share the enthusiasm for this edition which many reviewers have expressed. In fact, I discourage you discriminating collectors from buying this, as it is notably flawed.
I was compelled to buy this by the publisher's product description which claimed that it "set the standard for high quality." As a book collector I love buying these ultra-deluxe editions of all types of subject matter. Recent examples in ... Read More

I was given a $100 gift card to Amazon, so I splurged and purchased this book without knowing the author's work (I know he created Sin City, but never read it), without knowing its significance in terms of how it impacted comics from this point on, etc. I'm judging this purely in terms of how much I enjoyed it as a long time Batman fan BUT casual comic reader. I didn't like it at all. First, the story arc was disappointing ... I didn't feel that it best represented Bruce Wayne's character at an ... Read More

Well this is the first batman comic i ever picked up. There are some others now on my list, but this one was a fantastic read. Frank Miller really knows how to make batman one dark character. Can't believe how lucky i am to have picked this one up.
First half of the book, i was really empressed, how gritty and grungy everything looked and went so well with the mood miller was setting. The story was fantastic, although recruiting a new robin when your really that old, kinda makes you ... Read More

A well put together bundle of both the classic and the new graphic novels with a few extras. Very Impressive packaging (coffee table worthy).
