Batman est vieux, perclus de douleurs, aigri. Et pourtant, il va vivre sa plus belle aventure, celle qui va le propulser de nouveau au sommet. Nous sommes à Gotham, dans un futur proche. Les deux grands sont au bord d'une nouvelle guerre nucléaire. Les gangs font la loi. Les super-héros ont été bannis. Seul reste Superman mais il a vendu son âme et n'est plus que le bras armé de la Maison Blanche. Voilà dix ans que le "bat-signal" n'avait pas illuminé le ciel. Batman va rendosser sa cape pour un dernier combat... Par son génie du découpage alambiqué, par ses textes ciselés qui nous font vivre avec les héros, par l'ambiguïté de ses personnages, (Batman doute, prend des coups, s'engage dans des combats douteux), Frank Miller déniaise et revitalise le monde des comics. Et réussit l'impossible : faire vivre des super-héros dans la réalité quotidienne des lecteurs adultes. Les quatre épisodes, sortis en 1986 aux États-Unis, se sont vendus chacun à plus d'un million d'exemplaires. Batman: Dark Knight / Batman: The Dark Knight Returns a été publié en français d'abord en deux tomes, puis sous le format original (4 tomes), puis en une intégrale d'un seul tome.

Oumpah-pah le Peau-Rouge (Ompa-pa the Redskin) is a comics series created by comics artist Albert Uderzo and comics author René Goscinny, best known as the creators of Asterix the Gaul. The series first appeared in the weekly Journal de Tintin in 1958 though it remained serialised for a relatively short time. The stories were published in book form by Lombard and Dargaud starting in 1961. In 1995, the series was reissued by Albert Uderzo's own publishing house, Les Éditions Albert-René. Goscinny and Uderzo met in 1951 and were seated next to each other at the Paris office of World Press, where they first began their collaboration, inventing the characters Ompa-pa, Jehan Pistolet and Luc Junior. Ompa-pa was the very first character created by Uderzo and Goscinny, but initially failed to raise the interest of any publisher. While he was staying in the United States for professional reasons, Goscinny unsuccessfully tried to have the first version of the comic published in English (Harvey Kurtzman may have worked on the English translation.) The idea remained shelved for several years until the concept was adapted for publication in the comics magazine Tintin. The finished series made its debut on April 2, 1958. Goscinny and Uderzo ultimately decided to end the series early, in order to focus their energies on the more popular Asterix character. The series was published in English under the title Ompa-Pa in the UK in 1977–1978, in a translation by Nicholas Fry.

Published in 1997 in an issue of Weekly Shonen Jump for the "Jump Readers' Cup", this manga tells the story of two young demons named Bubul and Purupuru who venture outside of their village to the human world to make snowmen. During this activity, they hear an approaching car and quickly check it out which leads into hijnx. This manga won the award that year, marking the first time Toriyama won it since his 1981 one-shot "Pola & Roid" and its demon world notably has several concepts that would be reused in Cowa, one of his single-volume length tales.

One year after the failure of his first manga, Awawa World, Toriyama once again tried his hand at manga creation for the Monthly Young Jump award and crafted Mysterious Rain Jack, a one-shot mystery comedy that features an unnamed detective and his bumbling inspector ally who try to crack the case of a string of mysterious thefts that revolve around various items such as sweets and Cola. The story notably features character designs and scenarios that would later find their way into his most popular work, Dr. Slump. In particular, the lead detective's design would eventually be reused for Kurikinton Soramame and there's an appearance by an ogre who would later become Thunder Ogre Goronbo. The work was unfortunately rejected which was in large part due to the usage of several designs lifted straight from the space opera film Star Wars. Despite this however, Kazuhiko Torishima, who would later become Toriyama's editor, contacted him with words of encouragement that kept him going until he eventually found success. Like Awawa World, this manga would be republished in two parts in the "Bird Land Press" fanclub newsletter and would have its master materials brought out for display during a roaming art exhibition in the 1990s that was dedicated entirely to Toriyama's work. Unfortunately it along with Awawa World had its master materials stolen and when coupled with the use of copyrighted designs? This means an official rerelease is highly unlikely.
