DC: The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke (20th Anniversary)

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Chris Clow (THE COMIC BINGE, DISCOVERY DEBRIEF) dig into the Darwyn Cooke masterpiece DC: THE NEW FRONTIER—along with its 2008 animated adaptation and tie-in comic special—on the 20-year anniversary of the original miniseries. Anthony and Chris celebrate the sprawling epic, which depicts the dawn of the Silver Age of DC Comics and the birth of the Justice League against the backdrop of America from the mid-1940s through the early 1960s.
