![]() ![]() Working from this historical cocktail, Cooke reimagined the birth of comics’ greatest team. ![]() New Frontier finds the Justice League mired in the post-war America of McCarthyism, Communist paranoia, and the Space Race, a time where superheroes are under suspicion and distrusted by much of the world. The movie is based on Cooke’s DC: The New Frontier, a six-issue limited series originally published in 2004 and winner of the Eisner Award, one of comic books’ most prestigious honors. Since its formation the Justice League has undergone a number of transformations, but perhaps none so phenomenal as the rebirth given them by writer/artist Darwyn Cooke, the brains behind the animated film Justice League: The New Frontier, which recently premiered on DVD. When DC Comics debuted the Justice League in 1960 it brought together some of its biggest and best names-Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter-under one banner. ![]()
