    David Mazzucchelli's Batman Year One HC (2024 IDW/Marvel) Artist's Edition 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. Collects Batman (1940-2011) #404-407. Written by Frank Miller. Art by David Mazzucchelli. In 1986, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli produced this groundbreaking reinterpretation of the origin of Batman: who he is and how he came to be. Sometimes careless and naive, this Dark Knight is far from the flawless vigilante he is today. In his first year on the job, Batman feels his way around a Gotham City far darker than the one he left. His solemn vow to extinguish the town's criminal element is only half the battle. Along with Lieutenant James Gordon, the Dark Knight must also fight a police force more corrupt than the scum in the streets. Batman: Year One stands next to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns on the mantle of greatest Batman graphic novels of all time. The entire groundbreaking story is included in this 14 x 21 inch collection, the same size as most of the pages were drawn. This edition includes the complete graphic novel and a new introduction by David Mazzucchelli. Hardcover, 14 1/2-in. x 21-in., 144 pages, B&W.

    Synopsis: Bruce Wayne ha vuelto a su ciudad natal después de un largo periplo por el mundo con una intención clara: que nadie sufra la tragedia que le destruyó la vida a él. Y lo cierto es que no va a faltarle trabajo, ya que Gotham City se ha convertido en un pozo de corrupción al que también acaba de llegar un policía llamado James Gordon que se convertirá en su principal aliado. Con guion del mismísimo Frank Miller y dibujo del maestro David Mazzucchelli, Batman: Año uno es el relato definitivo del origen de Batman y de sus inicios como defensor de Gotham City, pero también un estudio inolvidable de James Gordon como héroe incorruptible que lo tiene todo en contra. Hemos visto muchas veces escenas como el asesinato de los Wayne o la irrupción de un murciélago en la mansión familiar; sin embargo, en pocas ocasiones se han narrado con la intensidad de esta obra intemporal de DC Comics que no ha perdido ni un ápice de frescura con el paso de los años.

    English Translation: Bruce Wayne has returned to his hometown after a long journey around the world with a clear intention: that no one suffers the tragedy that destroyed his life. And he's not going to be short of work, as Gotham City has become a cesspool of corruption, and a cop named James Gordon has just arrived and will become his main ally. Scripted by Frank Miller himself and drawn by master artist David Mazzucchelli, Batman: Year One is the definitive account of Batman's origin and beginnings as the defender of Gotham City, but also an unforgettable study of James Gordon as an incorruptible hero who has everything stacked against him. We've seen scenes like the Wayne murder or a bat breaking into the family mansion many times before, but rarely have they been told with the intensity of this timeless DC Comics work that hasn't lost any of its freshness over the years.
