Book Reviews of Batman: Year One
Book Review: A Classic Look at the Beginning
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic graphic novel that shows the brilliance of Frank Miller's writing and the incredible artwork of David Mazzucchelli.
Originally published in the mid-1980s, the opening pages juxtaposes Lt. James Gordon arriving and Bruce Wayne returning to Gotham City, which is haunted by a corrupt police force and essentially open for plundering 24/7/365.
As an early the description of Wayne explains, "He will become the greatest crimefighter the world has ever known...It won't be easy." This is the start of a journey for Wayne and Gordon in a vicious venue where even the strong may not survive.
There is also 40 pages of developmental material, which places the work in a solid historical context. Ultimately, it is a classic (new) look at the beginning, but with a style that fondly remembers this iconic story from the past.
