Frank Miller’s Batman Origin Story Is Getting A Fancy New Re-Release
Batman: Year One has long been regarded as a must-read story for any Caped Crusader fan, and if you’re looking to rediscover that classic tale from a new perspective, then you won’t want to miss out on the upcoming release of Batman’s rookie year in Gotham. Batman: Year One Artist’s Edition will be released on July 16, and you can save on this release with a preorder at Amazon, where it has been discounted to $135 (normally $150).
What makes this particular version so special? This edition is an oversized collection of the four-issue story, reprinted on high-grade paper the same size as the original artwork submitted by David Mazzucchelli to DC Comics in 1986. This allows for the original artwork to be replicated faithfully and it includes a new introduction by Mazzucchelli. This edition includes all the covers, interiors, and layouts supervised by designer Chip Kidd, making it the definitive Year One edition.
