2009-06-06 13:06The Absolute Dark Knight collects both The Dark Knight Returns, written by Frank Miller and illustrated by Miller and Klaus Janson, and The Dark Knight Strikes Again, written and illustrated by Miller.
This two-volume, slipcased Absolute edition contains all previous collection covers, retail posters, excerpts of press coverage, and sketchbook material originally seen only in the tenth anniversary edition of The Dark Knight Returns, along with never-before-seen material such as the plot to issue #4 of The Dark Knight Returns, excerpts of scripts to The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and a generous sketch section!
In addition, Miller provides a new introduction, a new cover, and new art for the slipcase, making this the ultimate Frank Miller Dark Knight collection. The Absolute Editions are a comics collectors dream of gorgeous hardbacks in slipcases with bonus material and focuses on some of the most important works in recent comics history (work is currently progressing on Absolute Sandman as we speak).
