One of the best, if not greatest, graphic novel of all time. It encapsulates the essence of the transitional period between the golden to the silver age.

About the author

Darwyn Cooke is an Eisner Award-winning cartoonist and animator. After spending several years as a magazine art director and graphic designer, Cooke switched careers and began working in animation, where he contributed to such shows as Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series and Men In Black: The Series. From there, DC Comics approached Cooke to write and illustrate a project that the artist had submitted to the company years earlier: BATMAN: EGO. The critical success of the title led to more freelance work, including the relaunch of the CATWOMAN series with writer Ed Brubaker (which inspired Cooke to write and draw the graphic novel CATWOMAN: SELINAÍS BIG SCORE) and assignments on X-Force and Spider-ManÍs Tangled Web for Marvel. Cooke then spent several years writing and drawing the ambitious epic THE NEW FRONTIER, a six-issue miniseries bridging the gap between the end of the Golden Age of comics and the beginnings of the Silver Age. He also recently illustrated and wrote (with friends) a highly-acclaimed issue of DCÍs artist-centric series SOLO. He is currently working on a new incarnation of THE SPIRIT for DC while living in Nova Scotia, Canada with his lovely wife Marsha.
