The Dark Knight Strikes Again Signed First Edition Reference

The Dark Knight Strikes Again (DK2) is Miller’s sequel to The Dark Knight Returns. Published by DC Comics as three prestige-format issues in 2001–2002, the series was controversial — fans expecting the gritty realism of DKR received instead a brightly colored, digitally produced, wildly experimental work that many found jarring.
