The Comic Literate Podcast

In this week's episode, Ryan makes Jamie read the first half of the critically acclaimed graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns. Written by Frank Miller, illustrated by Miller and Klaus Janson, with color by Lynn Varley. 

They also discuss whether this truly is the pinnacle of Miller's art work style and how it would it would continue after this, the comic's influence on Batman and the comic medium itself, and how Miller explores the themes of hero worship and authoritarianism.
