One of the most influential books in comic-dom and, by extension, all of pop culture, Frank Miller’s brooding, nasty Batman stands up quite well over two-decades later. The shock of a “dark” superhero has past, but what still remains effective is the surprisingly impressionistic artwork. Indeed – weeks later (sorry, I’ve been too busy to blog) it’s the images that have stayed with me – the story, I dunno….there were some bad guys and Harvey Dent and the Joker were involved somehow. And David Letterman.

Definitely worth taking a look at.
