About Batman: Gotham by Gaslight: DC Compact Comics Edition
Step into the shadows of Victorian Gotham where the Dark Knight confronts Jack the Ripper and a mad prophet in this genre-defining Elseworlds classic.
Before Elseworlds became a staple of DC storytelling, there was Gotham by Gaslight. This groundbreaking tale transports Batman to the gaslit streets of 19th-century Gotham, where he faces the terror of Jack the Ripper in a battle of wits and shadows. With its dark, atmospheric visuals and gripping narrative, this story redefined the boundaries of Batman’s world.
The saga continues with Master of the Future, a thrilling sequel where Batman contends with a deranged prophet seeking to halt Gotham’s evolution into the 20th century. Both stories deliver a unique blend of gothic aesthetics and superhero intrigue.
This volume collects Batman: Gotham by Gaslight #1 and Batman: Master of the Future #1.

No es tan bueno como pensaba, muchos lo alababan como el mejor elseworld, si bien ambos están excelentemente dibujados el primero por Mignola y el segundo por Barreto, pero en ambos el pobre guión brilla por su ausencia, me atrevo a decir que hasta la película animada lo hizo mejor, demasiado predecible la primera parte y la segunda totalmente innecesaria, un villano de pacotilla sin desarrollo, malísmo todo.
