About this product

DC: The New Frontier is a critically acclaimed comic book miniseries by writer and artist Darwyn Cooke. This self-contained story reimagines the DC Universe during a pivotal period in American history:

Bridging the Eras: Set in the 1950s, New Frontier forms a bridge between the idealistic Golden Age heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, and the fantastical Silver Age with the introduction of characters like Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and the Flash (Barry Allen).
A Cold War Backdrop: The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Cold War, weaving themes of idealism, patriotism, and the fight for truth and justice into the narrative.
A New Generation Rises: While established heroes grapple with their roles in a changing world, a new generation of heroes emerges, ready to define a new era of heroism.
Acclaimed Storytelling and Art: Praised for its captivating narrative, Cooke's distinct art style pays homage to the classic DC aesthetic while offering a fresh perspective.
DC: The New Frontier is more than just a superhero story. It's a meditation on the evolution of heroism and the enduring power of hope in the face of uncertainty.
