Absolute Batman Year One HC

Description:

Thirty years after its debut, DC Comics is proud to present the definitive Absolute Edition of this modern comics classic. Together with a wealth of behind-the-scenes material from its creators—including the complete scripts and pencil breakdowns for all four issues—ABSOLUTE BATMAN: YEAR ONE offers two distinct versions of the legendary story: Book One features the acclaimed single-volume graphic novel edition with every page newly rescanned and remastered by Mazzucchelli and Lewis from their original boards, while Book Two features the never-before-collected process color edition of the original newsprint comics, sourced from all-new scans made by Mazzucchelli and Lewis from their personal copies of BATMAN #404-407.
 
Originally published over four issues of the monthly BATMAN title in 1986 and 1987, BATMAN: YEAR ONE has gone on to become one of the most popular and influential graphic novels in the history of American comics. Written by Frank Miller and illustrated by David Mazzucchelli with colors by Richmond Lewis, this masterful reimagination of Bruce Wayne’s first year as the Dark Knight Detective has electrified generations of readers with its unprecedented fusion of gritty realism and elegance of form.

Im so happy this absolute batman delivered but hard to fit my junk mail

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!

Great service. Great books! The first is a restored version of the four comic books, published like a long story, a graphic novel format. The second book presents in big format the four comic books ( covers included) without restoration, with the poor quality of the 80's edition. But the big point of this edition is the extra material of both books. A lot of story boards, conceptual drawings, curiosities, pencil of many pages... This could be the definitely edition of this masterpiece...

I love the art and story.The slipcase was dented and has white score marks across the title. Some of them rubbed off but others didn't.The cover of the volumes had the same white marks, and again some rub off and others don't.

4.0 out of 5 stars Both versions included

Something that wasn’t mentioned in the listing but was a nice surprise is that this come with both the original printing and updated printing, which means you get to enjoy either the classic colouring or the updated version.

Bellissima edizione!

Gli absolute Americani stampati da DC sono di una bellezza illegale, cofanetto, sovracoperta, grande formato e qualità di stampa e carta da far impallidire Planeta, Lion prima, e Panini oggi.Niente da dire, costicchiano, ma tenendoli in mano vedi dove finiscono i tuoi soldi.Nel caso di Year One da segnalare come i volumi all'interno del cofanetto siano 2, contenenti questo capolavoro sia nella colorazione classica che nella nuova ;)

Year One

N. · 29 January 2019

Absolute Batman Year One : vous ne pouvez pas ne pas l'avoir dans votre collection en tant que fan qui se respecte :)Petite surprise, cet absolute se décompose en 2 volumes chacun ayant un style différent mais reprenant la même histoire.Le Tome 1 est imprimé sur papier glacé, avec des couleurs ravivées et un rendu définitivement moderne.Le Tome 2 fait très "old school" avec un papier faisant penser aux vieux comics de l'epoque et reprenant les dessins d'antan.Ainsi, vous retrouvez au sein de ce coffret 2 versions de Year One : l'une actualisée au goût du jour avec les standards modernes et l'autre tout droit issue des années 80.Un vrai plaisir de voir la différence entre les deux versions, chacune ayant un charme indéniable.Seul bémol : le prix. 70€ reste une coquette somme, à titre de comparaison, certains absolute plus volumineux se payent plus de 20€ moins cher. Mais ces Absolute vont se raréfier (tel l'Absolute Dark Victory, quasi introuvable neuf) et prendront de la valeur donc mieux vaut ne pas trop hésiter.

It arrived early and in mint condition. I can see why the price dropped on this book, as it's a reprint of a story that ran in 4 regular sized comic books (22 pages each - for 88 pages total) which isn't a huge Absolute edition. That being said, this is an awesome story that I've read many times. It's neat to read this then read the Dark Knight Returns, which bookends the Batman mythos. Although it's a short story this printing is superb. Reprinting the actual comics in a second separate book (both are included inside the same slipcase) seemed unnecessary, but DC had to justify the price tag I suppose. All in all, a great story in a great format. I'm glad this is finally part of my collection.

Do amor ao ódio com essa edição confusa

C.A. · 30 May 2017

Sendo sucinto: entrega da Bolo, perfeita. Melhor preço da net e melhor sistema de entrega.Problemas da edição Absolute: o volume 1 é basicamente uma versão extra large da versão formato americano vendida mais barata, com alguns extras modificados. As cores são muito suavizadas e pouco vivas, puxando pro quente, o que pra mim diminui a beleza. Mas são scanners de altíssima definição muito superiores ao de todas as outras edições americanas. O pincel de Richmond tem nuances que não se veem sequer na edição de 2005. Não vão lançar edição melhor que essa. Embora em alguns pontos se tenha cortado pedaços dos desenhos (como o copo de Gordon tomando café no capítulo 3) é realmente uma edição Absolute.O problema é esse segundo volume... a intenção foi boa. Colocar no formato Absolute o gibi original em papel jornal compilado, com as cartas respectivas das edições posteriores. O que pega aqui é como isso foi feito. Ao invés de pegarem a arte e reconstruírem digitalmente as cores (como faz a Marvel nos seus especiais), eles simplesmente pegaram os gibis da coleção do desenhista e passaram num scanner, imprimindo em papel pisa brite. O resultado é CATASTRÓFICO. Para se ter uma ideia, é possível ver onde termina a folha do gibi na mesa do scanner com o grampo aparecendo na folha impressa da edição. Fica um pedaço da folha em branco, um risco vertical preto com um grampo e a página respectiva. E nas cartas, o outro lado das estampas das folhas de propaganda, visíveis pela origem translúcida do material.Depois disso vem os roteiros com os lápis na página seguinte e a edição parece que vai ficar boa. Mas aí eles começam a colocar três páginas diminuídas em uma só folha e perde toda a graça.Se você não for um fã hardcore não gaste dinheiro comprando isso. Prefira a edição baratinha americana, superior à edição brasileira impressa em papel brilhoso.
