“Night People”

In "Night People," Gotham City’s streets pulse with secrets after midnight, where D.J. Dark’s radio show cuts through the silence like a blade. As a hobo is found dead and a cocaine smuggler flees through the shadows, Batman follows a trail that leads to Deke Mitchel—a fugitive from prison with a deadly mission, hunting someone named Kadaver. With the city’s underbelly ablaze and danger lurking in toxic waste, the night unfolds in a tense, atmospheric thriller drawn by Norm Breyfogle and colored by Adrienne Roy, with lettering by Todd Klein. The cover, also by Breyfogle, captures the grim mood of a city on edge.
