Gotham City: Year One #5

In "Chapter Five" of Gotham City: Year One, Slam confronts Queenie in a tense, pivotal meeting that unravels the tangled past between her and Richard Wayne. With guidance from his mother’s Tarot readings, he pieces together how Wayne’s affair with Queenie spiraled into a dangerous scheme involving his daughter’s kidnapping—though Queenie still refuses to name Helen’s killer. Written by Tom King and illustrated by Phil Hester, with inks by Eric Gapstur, colors by Jordie Bellaire, and letters by Clayton Cowles, the issue’s haunting atmosphere is matched by Hester and Gapstur’s striking cover.
