Welcome to Elseworlds, heroes you know, worlds you don’t! This special line of comics reinvasions classic DC heroes in wildly different universes and contexts. In Dark Knights of Steel, readers get a chance to meet the familiar heroes of the Justice League in a medieval fantasy setting!
From Eisner Award-winning writer Tom Taylor (Nightwing, DCeased) and rising artist Yasmine Putri comes an Elseworlds epic about a hero from a distant world, a dark knight crusader, and an Amazon warrior set in a world of steel and magic. Peace between the kingdoms of El, the Kingdom of Storms, and the Amazons has always been uneasy. But when a member of the royal family of El is assassinated to prevent a dark prophecy from coming true, the only remaining course is all-out war. But was the prophecy itself accurate, or is a far greater evil responsible for setting the three realms against each other? Swords will clash, spells will be cast, and blood will be spilled as the war of the three kingdoms begins! This deluxe edition collects Dark Knights of Steel #1-12 and Dark Knights of Steel: Tales from the Three Kingdoms #1 and features an introduction by Mark Waid and a new cover by Yasmine Putri.
Tom Taylor is the creator of the Aurealis Award-winning graphic novel series The Deep (which tells the adventures of a multiethnic family of underwater explorers who live on a submarine). The Deep has been optioned by Technicolor to be turned into a 26-episode CG animated series. He is perhaps best known for the bestselling DC Comics series Injustice: Gods Among Us, Earth 2, Batman/Superman, and his many Star Wars series. More recently Tom is best known for his smash-hit title DCeased from DC Comics.
Yasmine Putri has illustrations featured in Spectrum 15/16. Done projects for various clients e.g Wizards of the Coast (Magic the Gathering), White Wolf Publishing (Exalted, Mage), Paizo Publishing, Warhammer comics, Alderac Entertainment (Legend of the Five Rings), Sony Entertainment (Legend of Norrath, Free Realms, Star Wars Galaxies), and many more.
