Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (DC Compact Comics edition)

Description

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – one of the most influential Batman stories of all time, in a new compact edition.

Gotham City belongs to Batman. Ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement, the city descends into chaos, violence, and moral decay. But as the world increasingly slips into darkness, Bruce Wayne can no longer stand idly by.

Together with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley, Frank Miller redefined the Batman mythology, creating a grim vision of future Gotham and one of the most important modern comic narratives. This is a story about an aging hero, brutal justice, and a city that no longer believes in salvation – until Batman returns.
