Wolverine : Intégrale vol.1 : 1974-1989

Des années après avoir pris une retraite forcée, Bruce Wayne est devenu un quinquagénaire aigri et porté sur l'alcool. Mais la plongée de Gotham City dans le crime et le désespoir va le pousser à redevenir le justicier Batman. Traqué par la police et le gouvernement, le Chevalier Noir va mener sa dernière horde sauvage. (contient The Dark Knight Returns # 1-4)

Batman - The Dark Knight Returns

An emperor amasses an army of hundreds of thousands, drawn from two continents, to invade a third continent and conquer a tiny, divided nation. Only a few hundred warriors stand against them. Yet the tiny nation is saved. It sounds like the plot of a preposterous fantasy novel. It is historical fact. In 481-480 B.C., King Xerxes of Persia raised forces in Asia and Africa and invaded Greece with an army so huge that it "drank rivers dry." Then they entered the mountain pass of Thermopylae and encountered 300 determined soldiers from Sparta.... Writer-artist Frank Miller and colorist Lynn Varley retell the battle of Thermopylae in the exciting and moving graphic novel 300. They focus on King Leonidas, the young foot soldier Stelios, and the storyteller Dilios to highlight the Spartans' awe-inspiring toughness and valor. Miller and Varley's art is terrific, as always; the combat scenes are especially powerful. And Miller's writing is his best in years. Read it. Do not, however, read 300 expecting a strictly accurate history. The Phocians did not "scatter," as Miller describes. His Spartans are mildly homophobic, which is goofy in such a gay society. Miller doesn't say how many Greeks remained for the climactic battle--you'd think 300 Spartans and maybe a dozen others, when there were between 700 and 1,100 Greeks. Herodotus's Histories does not identify the traitor Ephialtes as ugly and hunchbacked, or even as Spartan. 300 establishes a believable connection between Ephialtes's affliction and behavior, but his monstrous appearance, King Xerxes's effeminacy, and the Persians' inexplicable pierced-GenX-African looks make for an eyebrow-raising choice of villain imagery. Nonetheless, 300 is a brilliant dramatization. For the full story of the failed invasion, read Herodotus's Histories or, for a concise, graphic-novel retelling, Larry Gonick's great Cartoon History of the Universe: Volumes 1-7, From the Big Bang to Alexander the Great. For a lighthearted look at post-invasion Athens and a very young Alexander the Great, check out William Messner-Loebs and Sam Kieth's witty and gorgeous graphic novels, Epicurus the Sage Vol. I and Vol. II. --Cynthia Ward

The most diverse volume of Sin City material available, Booze, Broads, & Bullets, showcases Frank Miller's vignettes and color experiments from throughout the years of his groundbreaking crime series, and includes art created especially for the original collection. A good entry point for new readers wondering what Sin City is all about - or longtime readers who can't get enough - Miller has painted a gritty, decadent, and gloriously dirty portrait. Have a taste of the city ... just one little taste. Just one.

Des filles et des flingues (Sin City, #6)

Batman est vieux, perclus de douleurs, aigri. Et pourtant, il va vivre sa plus belle aventure, celle qui va le propulser de nouveau au sommet. Nous sommes à Gotham, dans un futur proche. Les deux grands sont au bord d'une nouvelle guerre nucléaire. Les gangs font la loi. Les super-héros ont été bannis. Seul reste Superman mais il a vendu son âme et n'est plus que le bras armé de la Maison Blanche. Voilà dix ans que le "bat-signal" n'avait pas illuminé le ciel. Batman va rendosser sa cape pour un dernier combat... Par son génie du découpage alambiqué, par ses textes ciselés qui nous font vivre avec les héros, par l'ambiguïté de ses personnages, (Batman doute, prend des coups, s'engage dans des combats douteux), Frank Miller déniaise et revitalise le monde des comics. Et réussit l'impossible : faire vivre des super-héros dans la réalité quotidienne des lecteurs adultes. Les quatre épisodes, sortis en 1986 aux États-Unis, se sont vendus chacun à plus d'un million d'exemplaires. --Jean-Pierre Fuéri
