Batman: Gotham by Gaslight: DC Compact Comics Edition

By Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola

Book Overview

Step into the shadows of Victorian Gotham where the Dark Knight confronts Jack the Ripper and a mad prophet in this genre-defining Elseworlds classic.

Before Elseworlds became a staple of DC storytelling, there was Gotham by Gaslight. This groundbreaking tale transports Batman to the gaslit streets of 19th-century Gotham, where he faces the terror of Jack the Ripper in a battle of wits and shadows. With its dark, atmospheric visuals and gripping narrative, this story redefined the boundaries of Batman's world.

The saga continues with Master of the Future, a thrilling sequel where Batman contends with a deranged prophet seeking to halt Gotham's evolution into the 20th century. Both stories deliver a unique blend of gothic aesthetics and superhero intrigue.

This volume collects Batman: Gotham by Gaslight #1 and Batman: Master of the Future #1.

Received in record time

Thanks for getting the book to me so fast. I had already received the second volume and thought I should have the first volume to get a complete understanding of the series. I’ve preordered for the third volume and hope to get it in a few months. I try to get ex library books when I can since they’re durable and can endure a lot of handling. I haven’t finished reading it but I do like the writing. I like seeing Batman in a different environment and different era. The black and white pages doesn’t take away from the story but makes it more compelling. I’m satisfied with your expedient fast shipping time. Good job.
