it was a short, but great year:

What a great graphic novel! The tale of Batman begins here, and Frank Miller does an excellent job! This paces like a movie, and I had it finished in a half hour, which left me sad, but I'd rather that than it drag on! Do yourself a favor - if you're a Batman fan, pick this up!

Review of Batman: Year One:

I really enjoy Frank Miller's vision of Batman, but this isn't my favorite of his works. I feel like the he missed an excellent opportunity to emphasize the moral ambiguity of an amateur vigilante. There are some scenes to suggest this, but the medium a short work like this doesn't allow the author ample time to develop such complex ideas. What I really want is a sequal, a Batman: Year Two.

must-add to your collection!!:

Written by Frank Miller, draw by David Mazzucchelli- the great story of Batman starting out. The back of the book is loaded with original story boards, scripts and sketches which are fascinating to look at. Probably the most striking and incredible part of the book is the hand-painted panels that were done just for this edition.
