Gotham by Midnight Annual #1

Gotham by Midnight's 2015 Annual brings the supernatural noir series face-to-face with the Gentleman Ghost, as the cover by Juan Ferreyra makes boldly clear. The spectral villain — top hat, goggles, and a leering skeletal grin — looms over a dark-haired detective who holds her ground with a revolver in one hand and a badge at her chest, while a glowing blue gem dangles enticingly between them in a rain-slicked Gotham alley. Ray Fawkes, Christian Duce, and Lee Loughridge deliver an oversized issue that promises the moody, otherworldly tension the series does so well.
