On Twitter, DC Entertainment announced four new pieces of artwork that will grace variant covers for its upcoming, highly-anticipated series "Dark Knight III: The Master Race." Darwyn Cook, Gabriele Dell'otto, Neal Adams and Brian Bolland are the latest artists to have their work revealed to the world.
The sequel to the seminal "Dark Knight Returns" and its follow-up "The Dark Knight Strikes Again," "Dark Knight III: The Master Race" is written by Frank Miller, the architect of the "Dark Knight" universe, and Brian Azzarello, with art primarily from Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson, the latter whom inked Miller's art in the original story. "The Dark Knight III: The Master Race" #1 is scheduled for release on Nov. 25.
The publisher previously revealed other retailer variants, illustrated by Dave Johnson, Jae Lee and Sean Murphy as well as Lee Bermejo, Rafael Albuquerque, Tyler Kirkham, Klaus Janson and Eduardo Risso, for the highly anticipated sequel series.
