    Dark Knight Returns 4 - Golden Child

    https://www.superherohype.com/comics...e-golden-child

    I have always been fascinated by DKR and it's take on aging heroes. the sequel wasn't all that good but Master Race was back in form. Looking forward to this

      Well, the cover art sucks. A bat suit made out of elephant hide, yellow boxing gloves and size 13 feet.

      Sigh...I miss the days of comic artists who could actually draw.

        Rafael Grampa can draw just fine.

            I will wait till it gets released in TPB, The Dark Knight series has been delayed so many times I often forgot about them.

              Nope, that's Grampa. I doubt Miller ever does art anymore.

                Please. His art is laughably bad.
                Just another modern comic artist who is all style and no substance.

                    the piece in the article is Grampa for sure.

                        Well, yeah--mostly opinions here. I don't care for the art, either. And I'm quite wary of Miller in general after The Spirit debacle.
                        WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                          Grampá’s art is interesting. It’s easy to see why he was tapped for the project as his work looks Miller influenced already, but I can’t tell anything from pin-ups. Anyone can do pin-ups, even Liefeld could do pin-ups. I want to see his storytelling.

                            There are a couple of sequential page previews in the EW first look article here: https://ew.com/books/2019/09/13/fran...den-child/amp/ same previews at CBR as well... https://www.cbr.com/frank-miller-raf...hild-announce/

                            a few other points to clear up some misconceptions in some posts-

                            -this is a one-shot from DC's Black Label, not a mini, so no trade waiting, there is nothing to wait to be collected.

                            -interiors and covers are by Grampa, Miller is one of a handful of people doing variant covers for the book, but the main cover is by Grampa. Other variants will be by Paul Pope, Joelle Jones and Andy Kubert.

                            -Miller is still doing art, he did the Xerxes series, a 300 sequel for Dark Horse a year or two ago, and is doing the illustrations for a novel about the legend of Nimue and Excalibur called cursed written by Thomas Wheeler coming out in October from Simon & Shuster (already set to be a Netflix series in 2020).

                              I think his art looks cool. It is certainly stylized, but I don't get the "no substance" part...
