Gotham Central

ECC Ediciones’ 2015 release of Gotham Central collects a single-issue installment of the acclaimed police procedural series originally published by DC Comics. This Spanish-language edition focuses on the detectives of the GCPD’s Major Crimes Unit, who navigate the gritty, corruption-ridden streets of Gotham City while operating in the shadow of Batman. The series is best known for its grounded, noir-infused storytelling by writers Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker, with art by Michael Lark, offering a human-scale perspective on the Batman mythos. It matters because it redefined the superhero genre by centering ordinary people in an extraordinary world.
