Graphic SF Reader

A collection from early on in the Legends of the Dark Knight series.

A bunch of mob bosses realise someone is murdering them one by one. The person who is doing it is someone they killed 20 years before. Calling Batman for help, he basically says sit on it and rotate, until he realises who the killer is, and it gets personal.

It also gets a bit horror movie.

3.5 out of 5

Gotham goes to hell

Comic visionary Grant Morrison (The Filth, JLA, New X-Men; c'mon already, you know the list) came up with this Batman tale, taking place in Bruce Wayne's early part of his career as Batman. Gothic follows Batman investigating just who is picking off mobsters in Gotham City, one of which claims that it's a man who won't stay dead. What this spells for Batman is locked in his own past, as he has nightmares about his father with his lips sewn shut, trying to warn him of something purely evil. While not nearly as visionary or defining as many of Morrison's other superhero tales, Gothic is an often gripping and even shocking tale of the Dark Knight that doesn't fail to impress. Frequent Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. partner Klaus Janson provides the artwork, which leaves a little something to be desired, but it serves its purpose regardless. All in all, Gothic is a more than worthwhile Batman tale, and definitely worth checking out for fans of both Batman and Morrison alike.

Long live Klaus Janson!!!

And long live Grant Morrisson....Although this is not his best- there's something old fashioned about this story , a detective story which takes the hero to an exotic location...Nice and old school

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

Batman must face his own greatest fears when the man behind the mask, Bruce Wayne, begins to have nightmares about his boyhood schoolmaster, the cruel Mr. Winchester. Now Winchester has come to Gotham City, this time with supernatural powers. And unless the Caped Crusader can stop him, he will convert the city into his own cathedral--of death.
