What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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
About The Author
Frank Miller
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 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 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.
