	GOTHAM CITY: YEAR ONE The crime of the century in Gotham City…generations before DC’s Dark Knight! Tom King and Phil Hester share the secret origin of Gotham City! How did Gotham become such an active cesspool of criminal activity? Gotham City: Year One will explore the city's fall from grace, two generations before Batman made it his mission to rid his hometown of dangerous villains. Written by King and Hester, illustrated by Eric Gapstur, colored by Jordie Bellaire, and lettered by Clayton Cowles, Gotham City: Year One will follow private investigator Slam Bradley as he gets caught up in the "kidnapping of the century" – AKA the disappearance of infant Wayne heir Helen. "Night falls quickly in Gotham City," Hester says in the announcement. "The shadows cut across guilty and innocent alike. I feel lucky to be the artist to show you just how this city got so dark in the first place." He continues, "Tom has crafted a story that will echo across Batman lore past and present, and I hope the storytelling techniques Eric, Jordie, Clayton and I are bringing to bear will augment his razor-keen approach. I'm honored to play a small part in bringing Siegel and Shuster's landmark creation to a new audience, and in giving one of DC's oldest legends the white-hot spotlight he deserves." King adds, "Having written a ton of Batman comics, I can say it's incredibly rare to write a book like this, where you can add something large and essential to the mythos of the Dark Knight, as Scott did with Court of Owls or Grant did with the introduction of Damian or Frank did with, well, everything he touched." "In Gotham City: Year One, Phil and I will take you to a noir-drenched past, where the secrets that made Gotham become Gotham, the sins that made Batman become Batman are finally and violently revealed."

There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That's about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the "kidnapping of the century" as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night…and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.

Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais je suis toujours bien content de retrouver du Phil Hester.

[scarletneedle]

Oh que oui!
Il semble plu inspiré que ses 2 Superman de l'an dernier.
L'ambiance sûrement qui lui sied à merveille.

[EsseJi]

Je ne me souvenais plus de ça, pour moi son dernier boulot était Famiy Tree avec Lemire chez Image.

Sur des ambiances urbaines, Phil Hester est toujours très à l'aise.

Bravo messieurs King et Hester, un bon petit polar noir qui débute, dans un Gotham City pas encore tombé dans ses heures sombres, ça serait même les débuts.
Mais surtout une véritable question: Thomas Wayne n'était pas fils unique? Il aurait eu une sœur? Tout cela annonce un développement morbide.
