"A project composed from equal parts affection and ambition, Darwyn Cooke's episodic miniseries DC: THE NEW FRONTIER looks back to the Silver Age of DC comic-book heroes, finding in them all the elements needed for a commentary on post-war America. Cooke's drawings are striking, and his plot makes good use of DC's diverse characters, from the alien Martian Manhunter to the military squadron known as the Losers." -THE NEW YORK TIMES " chronicles the experiences of DC Comics heroes from the end of World War II through the Cold War. Currently he is working on a series of best-selling graphic novel adaptations of Richard Stark's hard-boiled Parker crime series. He is the writer/artist of BEFORE WATCHMEN: MINUTEMEN and co-writer of BEFORE WATCHMEN: SILK SPECTRE. The critical success of the title led to more freelance work, including the relaunch of the CATWOMAN series with writer Ed Brubaker (which inspired Cooke to write and draw the graphic novel CATWOMAN: SELINA'S BIG SCORE).Ĭooke then spent several years writing and drawing the ambitious epic THE NEW FRONTIER, a six-issue miniseries bridging the gap between the end of the Golden Age of comics and the beginnings of the Silver Age. From there, DC Comics approached Cooke to write and illustrate a project that the artist had submitted to the company years earlier: BATMAN: EGO. After spending several years as a magazine art director and graphic designer, Cooke switched careers and began working in animation, where he contributed to such shows as Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series and Men In Black: The Series. Darwyn Cooke is an Eisner Award-winning cartoonist and animator.
