Product Description

Product Description
In every world, in every time, there is a Gotham City; a heartland of corruption in the midst of America. "Gotham By Gaslight" takes the Dark Knight detective back to the 19th Century for non-stop adventure and period pulp thrills! This volume presents the adventures of the Victorian-era Batman in one bumper edition for the first time. At the tail end of an unforgiving century, Batman is pitted against both Jack the Ripper and a maniacal death-dealer from the blimp-filled skies! Featuring some of Hellboy-creator Mike Mignola's finest superhero work, as well as art by famed fantasy artist P. Craig Russell (Sandman, Lucifer), these two tales of a Batman from an alternative past offer up a compelling steampunk saga!

2.0 out of 5 stars Yes, but why?, 7 Jan 2008
By least toughest in the infants "macey" (here there and everywhere) - See all my reviews
  
To me, this makes very little sense. I'm all for alternate stories and little oblique tales but this left me non-plussed. It becomes a weird sort of 'spot the things you know' game with everyone transplanted back to 1888: there's a picture of someone who looks very like the joker etc etc

Plus, I thought the art was on the poor side, or at least rushed - many panels with blank behinds - this made me sad given the rich detail that you can mine from the victorian era.

It all feels like jumping on a bandwagon probably started by League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and maybe there is a good Batman story than can be told in this way, but I don't think this is it. Check it out for curiosity if nothing else, but 'The Long Haloween' it 'aint.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bruce the Ripper?, 12 Feb 2009
By Icy (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Attempting to introduce Jack the Ripper into the world of Bruce Wayne/Batman was always going to be a risky move, as it requires either bringing the Ripper into the modern age, or putting Batman into history. Thankfully this tale chooses the latter, re-positioning Batman and Bruce Wayne as turn of the century figures who unfortunately get caught up in Ripper hysteria, and Batman has to track down one of history's most notorious killers.

The artwork is beautiful, and while the plot is a bit of a departure from the usual Batman adventures, it's well-written and unfolds at just the right pace. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Victorian Knight, 9 Feb 2009
I must say that I had no idea what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The story centres on a victorian set Bruce Wayne and a different take on Batman. Its very much a collector's item and comes with all of the aura that such things entail. With Mike Mignola doing artwork on the first of the two stories, its a very nice touch. As well as this, the little add-ins such a Joker-esque criminal as well as a whole new take on the Jack the Ripper story, its a must for Batman fans and Mignola fans alike

4.0 out of 5 stars Batman year one minus one hundred years
In Gotham by Gaslight, Augustyn creates a turn of the twentieth century Gotham that is in need of a Batman every bit as much as at the turn of the twenty-first century. Read more
