Craig Russell, and Eduardo Barreto. Cover by Mike Mignola. Back Cover by Eduardo Barreto. Afterword by Mark Waid. THE FIRST-EVER ELSEWORLDS TALE RECEIVES A LONG-AWAITED ABSOLUTE EDITION. It was the story that redefined the limits of when or where a Batman tale could take place. What if the Dark Knight Detective encountered one of history's most notorious serial killers, who had arrived on Gotham's shores? In Gotham by Gaslight, writer Brian Augustyn and artists Mike Mignola and P. Craig Russell pitted a rookie Victorian-age Batman against Jack the Ripper. With only the tools and technology of the era at his disposal, would the green Caped Crusader be able to match wits with a killer who had evaded the greatest minds of Scotland Yard? This Absolute edition of the very first Elseworlds tale offers an immersive look into Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, presented in oversize Absolute format for the first time ever with a brand-new cover and foreword by Mike Mignola, plus an afterword by Augustyn's frequent collaborator and friend Mark Waid. This edition also includes Augustyn's sequel to Gotham by Gaslight--Batman: Master of the Future, with artist Eduardo Barreto, original scans of Mignola and Russell's inked pages, and much more. Hardcover (with Slipcase), 9 1/2-in. x 13-in., 232 pages, full color. Teen Cover price $100.00.
