Celebrating Batman Artist David Mazzucchelli

Celebrating the birthday of artist David Mazzuchelli (September 21, 1960) with a look at some of his strongest (and most reprinted) work, Batman: Year One.


With writer Frank Miller, David gave us a down and dirty view of Gotham, and the origins of the Batman, with Bruce Wayne figuring out how he was going to save the city, dressed as a bat, while contending with an unjust police force (except for recent transfer, James Gordon), and encounters with Selina Kyle (who was headed on her way to be Catwoman).

While not all of the reprints, the red covered Batman: Year One was one of the earliest (from October, 1988), while DC Finest will be collecting Year One (and Two, plus Batman #401-#412, Detective Comics #568-#579 and Batman Annual #11).  Find our more information on DC Finest Collections here with Kurtis and the Finest DC Channel, and a list of upcoming volumes here!
