The Dark Knight Returns writer/illustrator Frank Miller recently shared an image of himself with a young fan on Twitter.
"Enjoyed doing this commission for a devoted fan, and happy to be celebrating the 35th anniversary of DKR's release," Miller tweeted along with a picture of himself holding a Batman sketch. "I asked Maddie here to help but she refused." The writer's Batman sketch was black-and-white and featured Batman leaping from a building.
Released in 1986, The Dark Knight Returns was written by Miller and featured art by both Miller and Klaus Janson. The four-part miniseries depicted an older version of Bruce Wayne/Batman as he returns to his life of crime-fighting following his previous retirement. The Dark Knight Returns featured a multitude of popular DC characters including the Joker, Superman and Two-Face. A new Robin, named Carrie Kelley, was also introduced in the miniseries.
Considered one of the greatest Batman stories of all time, The Dark Knight Returns has been heavily lauded by both critics and readers. It was even adapted into a two-part animated film from DC Entertainment in 2012 and 2013. Justice League director Zack Snyder has even expressed interest in adapting his own version of the narrative.
Frank Miller is a long-time comic book veteran with works that include Daredevil: Born Again, Sin City, 300 and many more.
