Batman: Gotham Knights #26

Part ten of the "Bruce Wayne: Murderer?" crossover arrives with a cover by Brian Bolland that says everything without saying a word — a grimly composed Alfred, dressed in formal attire, mops beside a chalk body outline surrounded by scattered debris and a bloodstained floor, his expression heavy with quiet resolve. The image is a masterclass in atmosphere, suggesting loyalty and complicity in equal measure without tipping its hand. Devin Grayson, Roger Robinson, and John Floyd bring the interior story to this April 2002 chapter of one of DC's most compelling multi-title mysteries.
