Description: About the item: Featuring the epic conclusion to Frank Miller’s classic Dark Knight Returns storyline, this Dark Knight III: The Master Race 1:10 variant by Jill Thompson is signed by hand by the artist. A 1:10 variant means for every ten copies a store orders of the regular edition cover, they may order one copy of this rare variant edition. Please note- the signature is real. The comic is actually signed by hand by Jill Thompson. It is not a pre-printed image on the comic. The original Dark Knight Returns mini-series, one of the most consistently top ranked Batman stories ever, is credited with inspiring an entire generation of comic creators. And its conclusion features a dream-team of top creative legends that promises to make DK3 the biggest comics event of the year, including the return of both Frank Miller and Klaus Janson. They are joined by acclaimed writer Brian Azzarello and fan-favorite artist Andy Kubert as well as a host of variant cover artists eager to contribute to this, the final Dark Knight storyline. Writer, artist, and film director, Frank Miler is a member of the Eisner Awards Comic Book Hall of Fame, was named one of 50 Who Made DC Great, and has won numerous Kirby, Harvey, and Eisner awards. He is of course well-known for The Dark Knight Returns, but is also acclaimed for the his fan-favorite run on Daredevil, the creation of Elektra, the character-defining Wolverine Mini-Series from 1982, his creator owned Sin City and 300, as well as “Batman: Year One” and many more. This variant cover features Jill Thompson’s take on the classic scene from the original Dark Knight Returns as Batman and the new Robin, Carrie Kelley, leap into action. Thompson, both a writer and artist, has worked for stage, film, and television and is perhaps best known for her work with Neil Gaiman on Sandman for DC’s Vertigo imprint. Other career highlights include her creator-owned Scary Godmother series as well as Swamp Thing, The Invisibles, and Wonder Woman.
