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.
