After Frank Miller was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame during the Eisner Awards ceremony last weekend, DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee, with whom Miller has a long-standing working relationship, presented the industry veteran with his award.

"Golly, Folks. I haven't retired yet," Miller deadpanned on Twitter, sharing a photo of the two with the trophy.

One of DC Entertainment's biggest announcements of Comic-Con International: San Diego last weekend was that Miller would work with Brian Azzarello, Andy Kubert and others on The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, which will come later this year from the publisher.

"We went into this knowing that we had to give fans more," said Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, Co-Publishers for DC Entertainment, in a press release. "We're pulling out all the stops to deliver an amazing conclusion to this exciting body of work. We hope it inspires the next generation of writers and artists, the way it has already inspired us."

Said Kubert, "Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello have crafted such an incredible story for DKIII, as I am truly honored to be associated with them, this project, and Klaus Janson. We, along with the fans, are in for a great ride!"

"Any opportunity to work with Frank Miller is a happy occasion for me," said Janson. "When we add the talents of Brian Azzarello and Andy Kubert to the mix, we have the ingredients to achieve something truly memorable. This will be amazing!"

The Dark Knight III: The Master Race will mark the 30th Anniversary of The Dark Knight Returns when the first issue ships in late Fall 2015.
