Batman: Year One
by Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli
A definitive origin story of Batman. Miller and Mazzucchelli craft a gritty, realistic take on the Dark Knight's first year.
Geek’s cut
Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.
Deeper dive
Frank Miller's reimagining of Batman's origin story. This graphic novel set the tone for modern Batman stories with its realistic, noir-inspired approach to the character.
