I mean everything. There is the story, obviously, and then dozens of interesting and insightful bonuses. Preliminary sketches, additional issues, Cooke's annotations, prologues and epilogues are all included, among several other things. It is perhaps the most extensive behind-the-scenes look I have ever seen in collection featuring both the original work and the 'bonus features.' Certainly some of the supplementary material is not all equally interesting, but I never felt that something was simply tossed in. I never thought 'who would care about this' or 'they must have really been struggling to find material.' This is meaningful material, adding value to the over all work, not detracting from it. Most enjoyable for me, the follow up issues, published years later, are included, thus providing the reader with absolutely everything story-related published related to the New Frontier. I cannot speak to the merits of the absolute edition, but there is nothing missing from this collection. The story, though long, layered, and complex, is immensely enjoyable and very satisfying. It is not perfect writing, and it does admittedly drag at a few points, but when considered as a whole, simply remarkable. Cooke handles dozens and dozens of characters, both well known and forgotten DC figures, with an almost palpable affection and respect. New Frontier is driven mostly by Hal Jordan, refreshingly written, but is able to be carried by characters I had, frankly, never heard of prior to this book. While I am a huge fan of both Superman and Batman, it was nice to see them take a back-seat for certain parts of the story. Readers are treated to a fantastic look into the iconic, yet underappreciated, hero Martian Manhunter. This, for me, was the highlight of the entire story. J'onn is as much an outsider as Superman, but his alien nature is more obvious, and so too is his insights into earth's culture. Cooke matches his text almost perfectly with his illustrations, which is a nice transition to praise his art. The simplistic, dynamic pencils Cooke provides are neither the most detailed nor exciting pencils comic book readers will see, yet I cannot imagine any other style appropriate for this story. This story is set in a simpler, more streamlined and retro America, and Cooke beautifully conveys this. Each and every hero and villain is distinct: there are no 'generic' faces here. The colors, likewise, reflect the themes of this book in an exceptional way. While a couple of changes from prior-to-later panels are distracting (Flash's eye color changes from brown to blue somehow), the reader can tell that Cooke and his colorist were always on the same page. Cooke is not my favorite artist, but his talent and style are optimized in this work, and his passion for his creation is evident from start to finish. So if you've stuck with me to here, it should be pretty obvious on whether or not I recommend this book. YES. The price is an unquestionable value, almost guaranteed to ward off buyer's remorse. This is a hard work to compare, not because it is unmatched in artistic or writing skill, but because of the scope it deals with. This is not light reading, but it is also not laborious reading. This truly is the best route to experience New Frontier. I think it is cheaper than buying the two separate volumes, and certainly cheaper than the absolute edition. Nothing the reader could want in a collection is missing. While perhaps not as seminal as some other DC stories, New Frontier carries a powerful message and is among the most rewarding reads I have experienced among comic books. Review: Beautiful graphic novel. - Amazing book - great condition, wonderful and amazing! This is an excellent story that takes place in the 50s 60s and beyond. Love these stories and the origins of the Justice League! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,760,974 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #161 in DC Comics & Graphic Novels #589 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (427) | | Dimensions | 6.64 x 1 x 10.15 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 140126378X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1401263782 | | Item Weight | 1.78 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of Series | DC: The New Frontier | | Print length | 520 pages | | Publication date | June 28, 2016 | | Publisher | DC Comics | ## Images ![DC: The New Frontier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QqAa2fzFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding format for an outstanding story *by S***S on March 2, 2016* This book holds pretty much everything a reader could want from series collection.

This is an excellent story that takes place in the 50s 60s and beyond. Love these stories and the origins of the Justice League! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply fantastic *by D***T on July 22, 2016* An alien menace threatens the earth in the late 1950's and it'll take every hero humanity has to stop it. Confession time: While I'd heard of The New Frontier, I didn't pick it up until after Darwyn Cooke's death. Now that I've read it, I wish I'd picked it up sooner. The New Frontier is the story of the transition of the DC universe from the Justice Society era through the 1950s to the formation of the Justice League. Pretty much every DC character from pre-1960 is in it. Unlike how things originally went down, The New Frontier links characters from DC's war comics, their supernatural comics, and their super hero comics. I knew this was going to be something different when the first few pages had The Losers fighting dinosaurs. The story is pretty much a love letter to the DC comics of the late 1950s. In addition to old favorites like the Justice League, some without their powers for most of the book, Darwyn Cooke dug up King Faraday, Slam Bradley, the Challengers of the Unknown, Adam Strange, and many others. Rick Flag and Task Force X, aka The Suicide Squad, played a prominent part in safeguarding America once the Justice League went into retirement. I loved seeing a pre-Green Lantern Hal Jordan paling around with Rick Flagg and Ace Morgan. The early days of J'Onn J'Onnz, aka the Martian Manhunter, were really cool as well. I thought it was great that Darwyn Cooke didn't focus on the icons like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, instead giving a lot of time to Hal Jordan and the Challengers of the Unknown. The Flash and Green Arrow could have had more to do but Cooke only had so much room to tell his tale. While the story was great, I loved the art. Cooke's retro style did a good job of evoking the 1950s period it was depicting. It was Silver Age with a modern touch and quite something to behold. I'll definitely be tracking down more of his work. I could gush about this book all day. Instead of talking about Kingdom Come with reverence, this is the DC book people should be holding on a pedestal. 4.5 out of 5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/29910064-dc-the-new-frontier](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/29910064-dc-the-new-frontier) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
