| book description |

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. Collects Batman: Gotham by Gaslight #1; Batman: Master of the Future #1.
