About this Collection

This hardcover collects the five-issue Batman: Gothic limited series from 1990, written by Grant Morrison with art by Klaus Janson. The story pits the Dark Knight against a mysterious, centuries-old villain known as Mr. Whisper, who targets Gotham's crime lords while harboring a dark connection to Bruce Wayne's past. A grim, atmospheric tale that blends Morrison's psychological depth with Janson's gritty, noir-inspired visuals.

In "Gothic," Grant Morrison and Klaus Janson deliver a chilling, gothic tale where Batman confronts a twisted relic of his past: a former schoolteacher who, through a Faustian bargain, has lived for centuries and now threatens Gotham with the return of the Black Plague. With Janson’s stark, atmospheric art and Buccellato’s haunting colors, this 1992 issue stands as a dark, brooding entry in the Batman mythos, blending supernatural dread with the character’s enduring psychological depth.
