Absolute DC: The New Frontier Hardcover – October 4, 2006

4.7 out of 5 stars 40 ratings

DC Comics Absolute Editions set the standard for the highest quality, most in-depth presentation of classic graphic novels. Each oversized volume is presented in a slipcase and includes unique additional material making each Absolute Edition a cornerstone of any serious comics collection.

The latest Absolute Collection is the Eisner Award-winning DC: THE NEW FRONTIER, written & illustrated by Darwyn Cooke where the dawning of the Silver Age DC Universe is told from the perspective of those who survived the anti-hero sentiment of the Cold War, including Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, as well as eager newcomers like Green Lantern and The Flash, poised to become the next generation of crimefighters.

This oversized hardcover includes the entire series plus annotations, new story pages, rare promotional art, a gallery of DC Direct DC: The New Frontier product and much more.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Cooke's affectionate reinterpretation of DC's early-1960s superheroes gets the Absolute treatment, slipcase and all. The large scale shows off Cooke's dynamic, neotraditionalist artwork to spectacular advantage, particularly the "widescreen" horizontal panels that echo the era's prevailing cinematic format, and it emphasizes the ambitious tale's epic sweep. The deluxe edition includes news-story pages, annotations, rare promotional art, and other extras. New Frontier might not have the high profile of other Absolute Edition selections, such as Neil Gaiman's Sandman and Frank Miller's Dark Knight, but it, too, deserves the elaborate presentation.
