A BIRTHDAY SPECIAL: Miller turns 69! It’s Frank Miller’s 69th birthday — he was born Jan. 27, 1957 — so how about we show off the variant covers for the upcoming Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1 Facsimile Edition? Dig these, by Miller and Jim Lee, respectively: Naturally, there’s also a regular cover (and foil version)… … as well as a logo sketch cover that boasts a special Dark Knight Returns 40th anniversary emblem: A lot of people malign Miller’s modern work, but I’m of the mind that artists grow and mature, and their styles often evolve with them. It’s not only natural, it’s their right. In this particular case, I really vibe to the minimalist linework and use of negative space. It’s standout. The main issue runs $4.99, with the Miller, Lee and blank covers at $5.99. The foil is $7.99. The book is due Feb. 25. — MORE — DC to Republish THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS As Four Monthly FACSIMILE EDITIONS. Click here. — BATMAN: YEAR TWO to Be Re-Released As Four Monthly FACSIMILE EDITIONS.

At least in this groovy illo… Last week, we brought you the story about how writer Dan Slott pitched Marvel on a Spider-Man ’67 meets Filmation Superman story for April’s Spider-Man/Superman #1 crossover. (He also wanted to do Nicholas Hammond Spidey meets Christopher Reeve Supes.) Alas, Slott was shot down — thanks to those pesky rights approvals — but former longtime Spider-Man artist Ron Frenz picked up the slack when he posted this in the comments of our Facebook post of the story: I love how Ron parroted the back cover of 1976’s Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man treasury, which was released this month as a Facsimile Edition: Oh, and hey, if you dig imaginary Spider-Man ’67 stuff that shouldn’t be imaginary, check out the links below! — MORE — Hey, HASBRO: It’s Time for a SPIDER-MAN ’67 Marvel Legends Figure.
