Batman Allies: Alfred Pennyworth #[nn]

In "Here Comes Alfred!", Alfred Pennyworth takes center stage as the story unfolds through layered memories and reflections. As Robin joins Batman in tracking down the thief of his father’s costume, both he and Alfred recall pivotal moments from their pasts—Alfred’s arrival at Wayne Manor and Robin’s early days as Bruce Wayne’s ward. Meanwhile, Batman confronts his long history of adversaries, narrowly escaping a deadly trap in the Batmobile. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with striking detail by Jim Aparo—whose pencils, inks, and lettering shape the narrative’s rhythm—this issue is a poignant, character-driven chapter in the Batman mythos, with a cover by Alex Ross that captures the weight and dignity of the moment.
