Victorian era Batman with Jack the Ripper

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight - Brian Augustyn, Mike Mignola, P. Craig Russell, Eduardo Barreto, Robert Bloch

Um, yes, please!  This was brilliantly written, suspenseful, and the art was perfectly matched to the story.   The characters are themselves, just in a different time, and it was nice to see how people like the Joker would fit into this alternate universe. 

 

Also, old-timey Jewish meat market. 

 

 

Which only goes to show you a couple things: this has a lot of background detail that makes it all feel more real.   And while the Batman aspect of this is nice, it also shows a lot of, well, Bruce Wayne.   Bruce is the one who figures this out, not as Batman, not with his gadgets, just relying on evidence that was snuck to him by his good friend Jim Gordon. 

 

Lovely.   Absolutely lovely.
