Comic Storytelling at its best!

Frank Miller's Tour De Force is Possibly the best comic story ever told. First, he gives us an all too possible world That is Gotham. Crime and social chaos at worst there would seem to me like Gotham. Secondly, the Heroes are bigger than life, yet have all the weakness and flaws we suffer from. I could see Bruce Wayne as a real person on many levels. When he wakes in fright from reoccurring dreams, we realize Wayne is a haunted warrior forced to do what he does to reach some sanity, not Because He is a glory lover. The villians are the most fantastic, as the Joker is pure Psycopath. Batman is haunted in his decision to let Joker live as long as he has, afraid to become like him. Two-Face, a tragic one, forced to face his own evil in a man once on the side of good. Superman's rumbling no-show appearance brings us in to the true power and fear did a real Superman would bring to our world. Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) is what has become of most "Heroes"! As We Learn That others have gone "home" or fleed the planet. The comic may be too intense for young readers, as Selina Kyle scenes with (Catwoman) show. The art is spectacular. The power is mesmerizing, as you'll spend many hours just going back over the artwork. So I recommend The Dark Knight Returns, Which May Be The Greatest Batman story ever told, expect for maybe Batman: Year One, so by Miller. So highly recommended is the Killing Joke by Moore and Bolan.
