Absolute Luthor #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis oversized hardcover collects the two prestige-format one-shots Luthor (2003) and Joker (2008), each written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Lee Bermejo. The volume presents a pair of grounded, psychological character studies that reimagine Superman's greatest nemesis and Batman's most chaotic foe through a gritty, realistic lens, with Bermejo's painted artwork lending a visceral, cinematic quality to both stories. Released as part of DC's Absolute line, this edition features the original scripts, sketchbook material, and a slipcase for the large-format pages.
In "Part One" of Absolute Luthor, Lex Luthor arrives in Gotham City with a rare alien artifact in hand and a proposition for Bruce Wayne—trade a piece of advanced alien technology for access to Wayne's proprietary research. Written by Brian Azzarello and brought to life with striking, atmospheric art by Lee Bermejo, this issue sets a tense, high-stakes tone as two of DC's most formidable minds face off in a game of power and calculation. The cover by Lee Bermejo captures the moment with chilling precision.
