I’ve been waiting for this — and even if you didn’t realize it, so have you.
The Dark Knight Returns Gallery Edition from Graphitti Designs and DC is due out 5/18 and we have a special treat in store: Every day for 13 days we’re presenting a page (sometimes two!) EXCLUSIVELY here at 13th Dimension.
This is just an example of what you’ll see. The pages are A LOT bigger, I assure you.
