About this Collection

This compact edition collects Frank Miller's seminal 1986 miniseries Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, a landmark story that depicts an aging Batman coming out of retirement to battle a new wave of crime in a dystopian Gotham City. The volume also includes the sequel, Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and features the complete narrative arc that redefined the character for a modern era. As part of DC's Compact Comics line, this edition presents the classic work in a smaller, more portable format without compromising the original art and storytelling.

In "The Third Man," Batman dives into a chilling mystery after two men with ties to Switzerland are found dead, setting off a race to identify the next target. As he grapples with a case complicated by a pair of relentless amateur sleuths—Beatrice and Penelope Biddee—Batman must piece together a puzzle that grows more dangerous with every clue. Written by Kelley Puckett and brought to life by Luke McDonnell’s sharp art and Adrienne Roy’s vivid colors, this issue delivers a tense, cerebral thriller with a distinct noir flair, all capped by Denys Cowan’s striking cover.
