Brian Augustyn: Batman: Gotham by Gaslight: Absolute Edition, Gebunden

Klappentext

Fog. Fire. Fear. In a Gotham reborn in gaslight and shadows, Brian Augustyn (JLA: Year One ) and Mike Mignola (Hellboy) deliver the definitive Elseworlds masterpiece---now presented in a definitive Absolute Edition worthy of its legacy.

A chilling reimagining of the Dark Knight takes shape in an 1889 Gotham engulfed in smoke, paranoia, and industrial ambition. Batman: Gotham by Gaslight ---the groundbreaking story that launched DC's Elseworlds imprint---places the World's Greatest Detective on the trail of history's most infamous killer. Jack the Ripper stalks the city's darkened alleys, while Bruce Wayne navigates a Gotham caught between technological progress and the terror hiding beneath it.

Brian Augustyn crafts a taut, atmospheric detective saga, while the haunting visuals of Mike Mignola and P. Craig Russell frame Gotham as a gothic labyrinth of fog and danger. The tale's companion sequel, Batman: Master of the Future , expands this Victorian world as an obsessed prophet threatens Gotham's leap into the 20th century.

Epic, elegant, and ominous, this Absolute Edition presents both stories restored at dramatic scale---capturing every shadow, flourish, and whisper of dread that defines this genre-shaping classic.
