Coming in October…
This is a big week for DC Absolute Editions, with Batman by Neal Adams and Superman: The Man of Steel by John Byrne coming out.
But there’s another groovy one right on the horizon that we alerted you to some time back: the Batman by Darwyn Cooke Absolute Edition — and there’s a groovy video on Amazon that pages through the volume.
Here are some of the highlights:
Click here for the complete video. By the way, I’m not advocating you buy it there; much better to support your local comics shop.
In case you don’t recall, here’s the official description:

There’s also, as you see above, a pretty nifty Slam Bradley dossier file, with a “photo” of Selina Kyle, Slam’s business card and more.
