Return to Elseworlds!

Over 30 years ago, the DC Universe was rocked by the introduction of Elseworlds, a line of comics that reimagined familiar DC heroes in incredible new ways. The very first to blaze the trail was Gotham By Gaslight, which envisioned the Dark Knight hunting down Jack the Ripper in the year 1889. Now, fans have an opportunity to return to the Victorian-era Gotham with a brand-new chapter! Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age continues the steampunk epic with writer Andy Diggle (The Losers, Green Arrow: Year One) and artist Leandro Fernández (The Old Guard)!
