Description
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.
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 is the definitive origin of Gotham City!
