About this Collection
This slipcase set collects all four volumes of Frank Miller's seminal Batman: The Dark Knight Returns saga, including the original 1986 miniseries and its sequels The Dark Knight Strikes Again, The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, and The Dark Knight Returns: The Last Crusade. Presented in a matching slipcase, this edition brings together Miller's dystopian vision of an aging Batman forced out of retirement in a near-future Gotham City.
