Batman: Orpheus Rising #1

Batman: Orpheus Rising #1 (2001) introduces a chilling mystery in Gotham, where a string of police killings points to Rasputin, the feared head of the city’s Russian gang. As tension mounts, a new vigilante emerges—shadowed, silent, and moving through the city’s underbelly. Written by Alex Simmons and illustrated by Dwayne Turner, with inks by Danny Miki, colors by Shannon Blanchard and Digital Chameleon, and letters by Ken Bruzenak, the issue’s cover by Turner and Miki captures the dark, urgent mood of a city on edge.
