About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects the five-issue Batman: Gothic miniseries from 1990, written by Grant Morrison with art by Klaus Janson. The story pits Batman against a supernatural adversary from his past, a mysterious figure known as Mr. Whisper, who emerges from the shadows of Gotham's underworld with ties to a dark chapter in Bruce Wayne's childhood. This edition features restored artwork and bonus material, presenting Morrison's early, atmospheric take on the Dark Knight in a prestige format.

In "Gothic: A Romance, Volume One: Man without a Shadow," Batman confronts a haunting past when he uncovers the shocking truth that the enigmatic Mr. Whisper is none other than Mr. Winchester, the sinister teacher from his childhood. Written by Grant Morrison and brought to life with moody precision by Klaus Janson on both art and cover, this story plunges Batman into a psychological confrontation that tests his resolve and echoes through his darkest memories.
