Tom King, Phil Hester · DC Comics · Hardcover · 280 pages · ISBN 9781799508717
Gotham’s darkest truth doesn’t begin with Batman—it begins with a crime that rewrites the soul of a city.
Tom King (Mister Miracle) and Phil Hester (Green Arrow) deliver a razor-sharp noir that delivers the definitive origin of Gotham City!
Gotham City, 1961. Helen Wayne, the "princess of Gotham" and heir of Richard and Constance Wayne has been kidnapped, and P.I. Slam Bradley finds himself embroiled in the case. As his investigation deepens, Gotham’s history of police corruption and fragile race relations is revealed. And as the threat of a race riot grows with every new revelation, Slam begins to realize that the city he grew up in still has lots of secrets to hide.
This deluxe edition, written by Eisner Award–winning writer Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) and illustrated by Eisner-nominated artist Phil Hester (Swamp Thing), collects Gotham City: Year One #1-6 and features a brand-new cover and foreword by Phil Hester, a director’s cut of issue #1 showcasing the final lettering script and inks, behind-the scenes art by Hester, a variant cover gallery, and more!
How do you pack books?
For single issues or one or two average sized trade paperbacks, books are wrapped in plastic wrap and secured inside a sturdy Gemini Flash Mailer. For larger TPBs or hardcovers or multi-book orders that won't fit in Gemini mailers, books will be packed tightly with crinkle paper in a sturdy cardboard box to avoid jostling. Check out my feedback for proof, because I take pride in getting books to you in good shape!
Do you offer combined shipping?
Yes! Most listings should calculate the combined shipping cost automatically if you add more than one item to your cart and check out. If that doesn't work (or if actual combined shipping ends up being less than expected), I'll refund the overage after the order is placed.
If I don't see a book I'm looking for, can you special order it?
I'd love to try! Message me via eBay and I can check with my distributors to see if it's available and set up a listing for you to check out if you're interested.
