About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects the complete 12-issue Batman: City of Crime series, written by David Lapham with art by Lapham and Ramon Bachs. The story follows Batman as he investigates the murder of a young woman, leading him into a dark and sprawling conspiracy that exposes the hidden, gritty underbelly of Gotham City. The volume also includes a new epilogue and extensive behind-the-scenes material, offering a comprehensive look at this acclaimed crime saga.

In "In the Dark," Batman and Robin rush into a burning apartment building to save lives, only to uncover a chilling crime scene: five dead pregnant girls, locked inside a room before the fire started. Written by David Lapham and illustrated with stark precision by Lapham and Ramón Bachs, this gripping tale unfolds in the shadows of Gotham’s underbelly, where every clue leads deeper into a mystery that refuses to stay buried. The cover, a haunting collaboration by David Lapham and Jock, captures the weight of the darkness within.
