Here is our Dollar Bin, Church of the Geek’s equivalent version of the discount long box full of old comics that hold a treasure. Brian and Sam hold up a previous episode for a re-examination and this one is a gem.
In this episode we dive into the classic 1986 publication of The Dark Knight Returns. A title that Brian had never read. Creative team: Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley. It was a landmark series that redefined the character for generations, and its impact is still felt today in films like Batman V Superman and most recently The Batman.
