Batman: Dark Victory #1

Dec 1999 · DC · 4.95 USD; 7.95 CAD
“War”

In "War," Tim Sale’s stark, atmospheric art brings a chilling tension to Gotham’s darkest hour, as James Gordon pores over a criminal report, the weight of the city’s chaos pressing in. A white board behind him holds fragments of a fractured case—clippings, a photograph, and a drawing of his son—each hinting at a deeper, more personal unraveling.

James Gordon is sitting at his desk, reading a criminal report; behind him, a white board hangs on the wall on which two pieces of evidence are fixed (code word for Holiday and photograph of Holiday’s weapon), three newspaper clippings about Batman, Holiday, and Harvey Dent, and a drawing of his son representing him.
