Young Alfred: Pain in the Butler

In Young Alfred: Pain in the Butler (2023–present, DC), writer Michael Northrop and artist Sam Lotfi reimagine Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler as a scrappy teenager, long before his service at Wayne Manor. This single-issue debut offers a fresh, comedic origin story that explores Alfred Pennyworth’s early life and his first, unlikely steps toward becoming the unflappable caretaker of Gotham’s Dark Knight.
