Written by Tom Taylor, Greg Rucka, Mariko Tamaki and Dan Watters Art by Mikel Janin, Alvaro Martinex Bueno, Amancay Nahuelpan and Bill Sienkiewicz In March 1937, a comic book was published that changed the world as we know it.

Tom Taylor and Mikel Janin join forces once again to tell a heartfelt and action-packed story of Batman rescuing a young boy's best friend. Greg Rucka and Alvaro Martinez Bueno team up for a tale that asks the question: was Gotham better off before Batman?
