“Dr. Harvey and Mr. Bullock”

In "Dr. Harvey and Mr. Bullock," Alan Moore and Klaus Janson deliver a sharp, character-driven tale where Black Canary and Green Arrow question the shifting nature of crime in Gotham—only for their quiet observation to turn deadly when Black Canary is shot from a rooftop. With Janson’s stark, atmospheric art and Todd Klein’s precise lettering, the issue captures a moment of tension and unease, setting up a mystery that lingers long after the first page. The cover by Pat Broderick captures the moment of impact with chilling clarity.
