About the series
Set in the decaying, rain-slicked streets of Gotham's industrial outskirts, this 2008 DC Comics miniseries from writer Steve Niles and artist Scott Hampton follows a strange, bandaged man who emerges from the river with no memory of his past. As he pieces together his identity, he discovers an unsettling connection to a series of brutal murders and a hidden community of outcasts. Niles and Hampton craft a moody, atmospheric horror story that blends urban decay with supernatural mystery, offering a quiet, character-driven take on the monstrous outsider. It’s a brief but memorable detour into dark fantasy from the creator of 30 Days of Night.
