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 Millers THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS changed the landscape of the graphic novel irrevocably. With its dark vision of Batmans future and its stunning artwork, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS set the world on fire. 15 years later, Millers 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 Millers original plot for DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #4, sketchbook material and much more. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Frank Miller is a GOD !!!The is a great Book in hard cover ! And it's FRANK MILLER - Nuff Said ! Rating: - THE GREATEST GRAPHIC NOVEL OF ALL TIMEFrank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS redefined the superhero for an entire generation, and has had a deeper and more profound impact on the way comic book heroes are perceived by the general public than any other single work.

There are examples of a medium that so much represent the best there is that it transcends the traditional audience. The Dark Knight Returns, the first of two volumes in this set, is such a work. The 15-years between it's sequel, The Dark Knight Rides Again, seem to change the momentum. While it is sometimes fun and always interesting, it is merely a ride-along compared to the first volume. Bottom line, this is worth it alone for The Dark Knight Returns ... Read More Rating: - Perhaps Absolute, But Far From UltimateI'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 the comics ...

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 advanced age. ...
