Gotham Central #11

In "Daydreams and Believers," writer Ed Brubaker and artist Brian Hurtt take a quiet yet revealing look at Gotham Central through the eyes of Stacy, the precinct’s receptionist, whose daily routine includes the ritual of turning on the Bat-Signal. The issue unfolds a grounded, character-driven slice of life, introducing key figures in the Gotham police force while weaving in a small grave-robbing case and the high-stakes trial of Mr. Freeze for the murder of Detective Fields. Cover by Michael Lark captures the mood with a stark, intimate portrait of Stacy, grounding the story in the everyday tension beneath Gotham’s shadows.
