Darwyn Cooke Book order (chronological)

Graphic novels to read anywhere: DC Compact Comics present DC's bestselling and iconic stories in a new size! Dive into Darwyn Cooke's retro futuristic masterpiece, which explores the Justice League's adventures in an alternate 1950s America. This era is marked by promise and paranoia, with glittering cities juxtaposed against segregated slums, dizzying scientific advancements, and the tensions of the Cold War. In this world, the Justice League—Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman—seems absent. The masked heroes who fought for freedom during World War II have been outlawed, while soldiers and spies now operate in secrecy. Those who still fight, like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, do so under hidden agendas and conflicting ideologies. Yet, this America desperately needs its heroes. As darkness looms, a new generation of adventurers—young, brave, and committed to the greater good—rises to the challenge of the New Frontier. From Eisner Award-winning writer-artist Darwyn Cooke and colorist Dave Stewart comes a timeless tale of idealism, now collected in this edition along with the JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER SPECIAL.
