Sometimes careless and naive, this Dark Knight is far  from the flawless vigilante he is today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his first year on the job,  Batman feels his way around a Gotham City far darker than the one he  left. His solemn vow to extinguish the town’s criminal element is only  half the battle; along with Lieutenant James Gordon, the Dark Knight  must also fight a police force more corrupt than the scum in the  streets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBatman: Year One\u003c\/i\u003e stands next to \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Dark Knight Returns \u003c\/i\u003eon the  mantle of greatest Batman graphic novels of all time.

He was also the creative force behind \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Dark Knight\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eReturns\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBatman: Year One\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again\u003c\/i\u003e.  His many works have not only redefined classic characters, but also, on a few occasions, revitalized the comics industry. His creator-owned \u003ci\u003eSin City\u003c\/i\u003e hit the page in 1991, and then the silver screen in 2005 — with Miller on board as co-director. His multi-award-winning \u003ci\u003e300 \u003c\/i\u003egraphic novel was brought to full-blooded life in the 2007 motion picture of the same name, and in 2008 he directed the feature film of \u003ci\u003eWill Eisner’s The Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Mazzucchelli drew his first professional comic book while majoring in painting at the Rhode Island School of Design. After a handful of jobs for Marvel and DC Comics, he became the regular artist on Marvel’s \u003ci\u003eDaredevil\u003c\/i\u003e, where he first collaborated with writer Frank Miller to produce the highly successful and critically acclaimed seven-part story “Born Again.” David’s most recent project is the self-published \u003ci\u003eRubber Blanket\u003c\/i\u003e. His work on BATMAN and \u003ci\u003eDaredevil\u003c\/i\u003e has earned him both an American Comic Book Award and Spain’s Haxtur Prize.  In 2009, Pantheon Books published Mazzucchelli's \u003ci\u003eAsterios Polyp, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was met with critical acclaim.  In 2010, \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAsterios Polyp \u003c\/i\u003ewon three Eisner Awards for Best Graphic Album–New, Best Writer\/Artist, Best Lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45447187267745,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781401207526","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781401207526.jpg?v=1764228874","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/batman-year-one-paperback-by-frank-miller-david-mazzucchelli","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
