DC: The New Frontier: DC Compact Comics Edition

Description:

Graphic novels to read anywhere: DC Compact Comics collect DC’s bestselling, most iconic stories in a new size! 

Experience iconic writer-artist Darwyn Cooke’s retro futuristic masterpiece, exploring the Justice League’s adventures in an alternate 1950s America!


Welcome to the DC Universe in 1950s America — a land of promise and paranoia, of glittering cities and segregated slums, of dizzying scientific progress and simmering Cold War conflict. A land without the Justice League—Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Or so it seems. 

 
The masked mystery men who fought for freedom in the Second World War have been outlawed. The soldiers and spies who conducted top-secret missions into the unknown now work in the shadows. And those icons who do still fight on — Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman — operate under hidden agendas and dueling ideologies. 

 
Yet this America needs its heroes more than ever. With darkness gathering on the horizon once more, only a bold new generation of adventurers — young, daring, and dedicated to the better angels of our nature — is equal to the challenge of the New Frontier. 

 
From Eisner Award–winning writer-artist Darwyn Cooke and Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart comes DC: THE NEW FRONTIER — a timeless tale of idealism that has become one of the most acclaimed superhero comics of the 21st century. This edition collects the original 6-issue miniseries together with the JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER SPECIAL.

About the Author

Darwyn Cooke was an Eisner Award-winning cartoonist and animator. After spending several years as a magazine art director and graphic designer, Cooke switched careers and began working in animation, where he contributed to such shows as Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Men in Black: The Series. DC Comics then approached Cooke to write and illustrate Batman: Ego, which Cooke had pitched unsuccessfully several years earlier. The critical success of the title led to the relaunch of the Catwoman series with writer Ed Brubaker. Cooke then spent several years writing and drawing the ambitious epic The New Frontier. He was also the writer/artist of Before Watchmen: Minutemen and co-writer of Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a CAN’T miss for Darwyn Cooke. Worth every penny.

Y.R.E. · October 21, 2025

For those who love the digest/book sized series, this is worth EVERY PENNY. I was a huge fan of Darwyn Cooke before he passed away. He put out one of the best stories ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best compact for new and old readers

N.L. · August 27, 2025

9/10 for me. An amazing story and a perfect book for those just getting into comics. The book features many superhero’s and takes place before the formation of the justice league.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a deal!

A.C.J. · September 17, 2025

These pocket editions are a great bang for the buck. These are for those who want to enjoy the stories without the hassle of having to collect the individual issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sharp and Colorful Masterpiece

F. · August 21, 2025

If you like retro, this graphic novel is a sharp and colorful masterpiece. It is light in places and very heavy in others. A few pages capture the respectful nature of Superman and Batman in a way I enjoyed. A great read full of superheroes.

Masterpiece at an intimate size.

3.0 out of 5 stars First edition of the compact DC: New Frontier is missing the Justice League Special

B.B. · August 18, 2025

I just received my copy, and I can confirm that the first edition, first printing of the Compact Edition of NEW FRONTIER is missing the Justice League: New Frontier Special. It is indicated in the indicia and in online promotional material and the Penguin website, but the book only contains the original six-issue mini-series and reproduction of a gallery of pin-ups.Still a great deal and a great story but this edition is incomplete.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring, long-winded, tedious, no focus on the best characters

G.S. · September 5, 2025

I love Darwyn Cooke’s art and that’s why I bought this book. His writing and plotting however is awful. The opening story with Batman was done very cool, then goes absolutely nowhere including no conclusion to the story. He tries to incorporate many, many characters, too many that I didn’t care annything about overlooking all the main cool ones you’d actually want to see like Hawkman (missing), The Atom (missing) and others, over the course of many years and it’s way too much for him to take on. How he turned the Green Lantern story into a tedious boar-fest was a feat. All in all, very lame and not worth slugging through. If he would have stuck to a few basic stories, almost no Superman here, he would probably have had more luck. What he needed was a good writer so he could have just focused on the art. Big boring disappointment and it’s really too bad because I do love his art.

Un nuevo clásico moderno
