An Artist’s Edition featuring the groundbreaking reinterpretation of Batman’s origin by comic book titans Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. The entire groundbreaking story is included in this 14 x 21 inch collection, the same size as most of the pages were drawn. 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. This edition includes the complete graphic novel and a new introduction by David Mazzucchelli. All of Mazzucchelli’s layouts are presented, giving true insight into a master storytellers process from initial spark to completed page. This is an art book featuring rare and beautiful imagery, a collection for connoisseurs of the form. Chip Kidd, the legendary designer, will be guiding the look of the project. The volume collects Batman #404–407.

Legendární Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) v jedné ze své nejslavnějších prací. Poté, co v Návratu temného rytíře popsal Batmanovy poslední dny, vrátil se v Roku jedna k začátkům slavného mstitele. A nejsou to začátky nijak jednoduché. Rok jedna sleduje příchod Bruce Waynea do Gothamu, kde si pomalu začíná uvědomovat, že stát se postrachem zločinců nebude zase tak snadné. Zároveň s ním přijíždí i čerstvě ženatý poručík Gordon, který vstupuje do policejního sboru a zjišťuje, že poctivý polda to v něm nebude mít snadné. Temný a syrový příběh patří spíš do kategorie „detektivka drsné školy“ než superhrdinský komiks. I v podání malíře Davida Mazzucchelliho je Gotham spíše „do špíny zamilované velkoměsto“ než gotický lunapark známý z filmů. U knihy je množství bonusů, včetně původních náčrtků, scénářů a minikomiksů! Tímto komiksem se inspiroval úspěšný film Batman se vrací.
