DC Silent Tales #1

A one-shot packed with six wordless stories, DC Silent Tales lets Gustavo Duarte do all the talking through pure visual comedy — and the cover sets the tone perfectly, with a thoroughly mummified Batman hanging upside down, a ticking bomb strapped to his chest, while Harley Quinn grins mischievously on one side and the Joker looks on with smug satisfaction on the other. Duarte's cartoony, animated-series-inspired style gives the whole scene an irresistible charm that's gleefully chaotic without a single word needed. If you've ever wanted a DC comic that delivers laughs through timing, expression, and pantomime alone, this 2023 one-shot is a genuinely delightful treat.
