One of the most important and critically acclaimed graphic novels of all time is now presented in a brand new edition for 2017, including many of the extras and bonus materials from ABSOLUTE BATMAN: YEAR ONE.

In 1986, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli produced this groundbreaking reinterpretation of the origin of Batman--who he is and how he came to be. Written shortly after THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Miller's dystopian fable of Batman's final days, YEAR ONE set the stage for a new vision of a legendary character.

This new edition includes artist David Mazzucchelli's original pencil pages, and sketches, and script pages from Frank Miller, along with other bonus materials. Collects BATMAN #404-407.

Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s and rose to fame while first drawing, and then writing, Daredevil for Marvel Comics. He was also the creative force behind BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, BATMAN: YEAR ONE, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN and DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE. His many works have not only redefined classic characters, but also, on a few occasions, revitalized the comics industry. His creator-owned Sin City 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 The Spirit.
