The Dark Knight Returns has influenced many of the different adaptations of the character. I can't think of a more important piece of comic art to have ever come to auction." Such a widely reproduced, instantly recognizable and transcendent image speaks to generations. "It defined the entire superhero genre from the 1980s to this very moment, not only in comics but in the broader culture.
"In the case of the lightning bolt, that really was a bolt out of the blue," said Miller. The idea for the cover of the first issue came after it was written, drawn, and being inked by Klaus Janson. One of the earlier versions featured a crouched Batman on a power line, which was later used as the cover for the 2015 collection, Batman Noir: The Dark Knight Returns. It's just a fun challenge." However, the iconic image was not the original one that Miller had in mind. I love doing covers, and I love conjuring iconic imagery. "That was a real favorite of mine," Miller said about the cover. It features a silhouette of Batman in the sky with lightning striking behind him. Miller worked on the cover with Lynn Varley. Heritage Auctions has announced that the original cover for Book One of writer/artist Frank Miller's iconic 1986 series The Dark Knight Returns will be for sale in Heritage Auctions' June 16-19 Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction. Batman fans will be able to bid on a piece of comic book history.
