Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s and rose to fame while first drawing, and then writing, <i>Daredevil</i> for Marvel Comics. He was also the creative force behind BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, BATMAN: YEAR ONE and BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN. His many works have not only redefined classic characters, but also, on a few occasions, revitalized the comics industry. His creator-owned <i>Sin City</i> hit the page in 1991, and then the silver screen in 2005--with Miller on board as co-director. His multi-award-winning 300 graphic novel was brought to full-blooded life in the 2007 motion picture of the same name, and in 2008 he directed the feature film of Will Eisner's<i> The Spirit</i>.
A gritty and atmospheric retelling of Batman's earliest days, as told by the author of the seminal DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Mazzucchelli's art brings a new level of emotional intensity and realistic, muscular action. -- Booklist If there is one book that deserves mention in the same breath as WATCHMEN or THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, it's BATMAN: YEAR ONE. -- Miami Herald This is a story no true Batman fan should be able to resist. -- School Library Journal You know that saying, 'If you read just one book, this is the one to read'? Well, that applies to BATMAN: YEAR ONE. It's not only one of the most important comics ever written, it's also among the best. --IGN There's never been storytelling quite like this. It took someone who views comics as an art to create it. -- The Washington Post
