Batman Gotham by Gaslight (1989 DC) 1 CBCS 9.8

Paper: White

Written by Brian Augustyn. Art by Mike Mignola and P. Craig Russell. Introduction by Robert Bloch.

In an age of mystery and superstition, how would the people of Gotham react to a weird creature of the night, a bat-garbed vigilante feared by the guilty and the innocent alike? Some would live in terror. Others would rest easier. Only one man would take no notice at all, a man with other matters to attend to. His name? No one knows for sure. Most people know him only as Jack. Jack the Ripper.
