About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects the entire six-issue DC: The New Frontier miniseries by Darwyn Cooke, a retro-styled epic that reimagines the transition of DC's Golden Age heroes into the Silver Age. Set in the 1950s and 1960s, it weaves together characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Martian Manhunter against a backdrop of Cold War paranoia and social change. This edition includes the main story, the New Frontier: The Lost Age one-shot, and extensive behind-the-scenes material, presented in a larger format with restored colors.
