    prelude to Sin City

    This book is an excellent read for me. It focuses less on Batman and more on Jim Gordon. It sets up Gordon as a man instead of someone Batman can get info from. What Miller did for Batman in The Dark Knight, he does here for Jim Gordon. The Gotham Police Department is truely shown as the cesspool af graft and corruption it was always reputed to be. It works great as a kind of for runner to Miller's SinCity tales in later years. It is also a great lead in to Jeph Loeb and Tim Sales excellent "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" stories. Mazzucchelli's art is simple and powerful. Batman looks like a guy in a funny costume with a cape, yet it somhow works. I just wish Miller had a little more room to tell his story. There is only one real action scene, when Bats is cornered by the police. still, it is very good and well worth a read for all Miller and Batman fans.

    Miller writes Batman the way it is suppose to be written. This is one of my favorite comics, a must read for any Dark Knight fan. An excellent mix of fantastic writing and artwork.

    A Must Read

    A must read for anyone who considers themselves a fan of comics. Miller and Mazzucchelli craft the Batman into the Dark Knight that people know today.

    REALLY REALLY COOL!

    This was an excellent graphic novel! It's art is very old style compared to what comics have for art now making it a unique art style. It has a really cool story line to it also , with Batman in his first year in the crimefighting business people aren't sure if he is a hero or a criminal , so of course everytime the Gotham Police come across him they try to capture him. Its a must read for any Batman fans or Frank Miller fans , I know I loved it!
