The writer of The Dark Knight Returns will be revisiting one of the novel's most memorable characters, as Frank Miller's new 5-project deal with DC Comics includes a Carrie Kelley graphic novel.
Miller will be joined by artist Ben Caldwell for this story that will be aimed at younger readers.
Carrie Kelley has appeared in both sequels to The Dark Knight Returns, as well as The New 52 and DC Rebirth, but Miller says this story will give her a chance to shine on her own:
“It’s thrilling to have Carrie Kelley take center stage for the first time, and the energy that Ben is bringing to her is new and different — it’s incredible to see."
The first of Miller's five upcoming projects with DC will be Superman: Year One, illustrated by John Romita Jr. This series will be part of DC's new Black Label imprint.
This was a big week in Frank Miller news, as it was also announced that the veteran writer would be taking on the story of King Arthur for Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.
While it might seem a bit weird for the writer of some of Batman's darkest stories and the adult-oriented Sin City series to be working on children's stories, it will be interesting to see how Miller takes on these new challenges.
