About the series
In this 2000–2001 DC miniseries, writer Mike Mignola and artist Troy Nixey reimagine the Dark Knight in a pulp-horror key, blending Batman’s mythos with the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft. Co-written with Richard Pace, the three-issue story transplants Bruce Wayne to a 1920s Gotham plagued by ancient, otherworldly evils, offering a moody, atmospheric take that stands apart from mainstream DC continuity. It’s a cult-favorite, genre-bending experiment that showcases Mignola’s signature style before his Hellboy fame fully took hold.
