Description

His multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was brought to full-blooded life in the 2007 motion picture of the same name, and in 2008 he directed the feature film Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT. In May 2023, IDW Publishing announced that Year One will be getting the Artist's Edition ( ISBN 9798887240039) treatment, the publishing date will be in July 2024. In November 2014, to celebrate Batman's 75th anniversary, DC released a sample of Year One as a part of its DC Comics Essentials line of promotional comics. Miller's past projects overwhelmed him since he had to handle both writing and illustration duties simultaneously.

Journalist James Lovegrove described "Year One" as a "noir-inflected pulp tale of vigilantism and integrity, focused on a good man doing the right thing in a dirty world" and noted the brutality of the fight sequences. His multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was brought to full-blooded life in the 2007 motion picture of the same name, and in 2008 he directed the feature film Will Eisner's The Spirit. He goes in disguise on a surveillance mission in Gotham's red-light district, but is reluctantly drawn into a brawl with several prostitutes, Holly Robinson and Selina Kyle. Near fine/very good condition, slight over all wear to book and dustjacket, small scratches to front of dustjacket, top edge of dustjacket spine faded. 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.

Unfortunately, the villains get evidence that Gordon has had an affair – and they seek to use this against him. Major characters like Commissioner Loeb, Detective Flass and Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone are featured prominently in Batman Begins. Examples of this include Batman underestimating his opponents, getting shot by police, and his costume being too big. Mazzucchelli personally supplies the artworks for scanning with Chip Kidd serving as the designer of the book.

Wayne initially goes out in disguise, and gets caught-up in a crime scene – only barely managing to survive. The artwork by Mazzucchelli--from the Milton Caniff school by way of Alex Toth (-Zorro-) and Doug Wildey (-Jonny Quest-)--may be the best BATMAN has ever had. Hilary Goldstein ( IGN) compared their journey to friendship to the plot of the film Serpico; they found that the two characters' respective story arcs—with Gordon's "illustrat[ing] the corruption in Gotham" and Batman's detailing "the transformation from man to myth"—offered an exploration of Batman's world like no other.

It was the first time I worked on a Batman project with somebody whose vision of Batman was darker than mine. In 2017, the hardcover deluxe edition was re-released again ( ISBN 1401272940), this time with the same paper quality and coloring as Book One of the 2016 Absolute Edition. Essen, however, chooses to leave Gotham upon learning he is going to be the father of Barbara's child.
