Batman: Gotham County Line

In this 2006 DC one-shot, writer Steve Niles and artist Scott Hampton send Batman into the haunted hinterlands beyond Gotham's city limits. When a string of bizarre murders points to a supernatural force lurking in the county, the Dark Knight must confront a horror that predates his city itself. A moody, atmospheric crime-horror hybrid that showcases Niles' knack for the macabre and Hampton's shadow-drenched painted art.
