Gotham City: Year One

In this six-issue limited series from DC, writer Tom King and artist Phil Hester return to the earliest days of Gotham City, before Batman. The story follows private detective Sam “Slam” Bradley as he investigates the kidnapping of a wealthy couple’s infant daughter, a case that exposes the corruption and violence that will define the city for generations. A noir-inflected prequel, Gotham City: Year One explores the foundations of the city’s criminal underworld through the eyes of a classic DC character.
