About Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Deluxe Edition

Frank Miller's genre-defining graphic novel celebrates its 40th year anniversary with a new deluxe edition. In 1986, comics visionary Frank Miller, along with Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley, reenvisioned the Dark Knight in a bold way that has since revolutionized the way people view superhero comics. It’s been 10 years since the Batman was last seen, and Gotham City has since decayed into a cesspool of crime. But now something has stirred within Bruce Wayne, reminding him of the solemn vow he made to his parents. As Gotham falls prey to gangs and as the threat of nuclear war looms, Bruce can no longer stand by idly. The night belongs to Batman, and it’s time to remind the world that justice still exists. This 40th anniversary deluxe edition of the beloved classic collects the original four-issue Prestige series and includes a new afterword by Miller; a tribute cover gallery featuring artwork by Jim Lee, Jock, and others; and more!
