DC Comics has announced a
Dark Knight one-shot for February, along with two offerings from DC Collectibles. The one-shot,
The Dark Knight Returns: The Last Crusade, will be written by Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello, the same team as the core miniseries (see "
Frank Miller's Cover for 'Dark Knight III' Minicomic" for our most recent coverage). Art will be by John Romita, Jr., and Bill Sienkiewicz, with the cover by Romita and Danni Miki.

The 64-page prestige format comic will retail for $7.99. The story is a prequel to Dark Knight Returns, and tells the story of how Jason Todd met his end and the events leading up to it.
