DC: The New Frontier: DC Compact Comics Edition

DC: The New Frontier — DC Compact Comics Edition

Take Darwyn Cooke’s retro‑futuristic epic on the go with the DC Compact Comics Edition. This portable format brings one of DC’s most beloved stories to a size that’s perfect for reading anywhere, from commutes to quiet nights at home, without sacrificing the impact of its art and storytelling.

In an alternate 1950s America, the DC Universe meets promise and paranoia head-on. Glittering cities rise beside segregated slums; Cold War tensions simmer as science and progress race forward. The Justice League—Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman—are not the champions you remember here. Outlawed or operating under hidden agendas, the icons who do still fight must contend with new threats and shifting loyalties. Yet when darkness gathers, a bold generation of young adventurers answers the call to defend a nation in need.
