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 duelling 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 colourist 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.
