Gotham's darkest truth doesn't begin with Batman--it begins with a crime that rewrites the soul of a city.

Tom King (Mister Miracle) and Phil Hester (Green Arrow) deliver a razor-sharp noir that delivers the definitive origin of Gotham City!

Gotham City, 1961. Helen Wayne, the "princess of Gotham" and heir of Richard and Constance Wayne has been kidnapped, and P.I. Slam Bradley finds himself embroiled in the case. As his investigation deepens, Gotham's history of police corruption and fragile race relations is revealed. And as the threat of a race riot grows with every new revelation, Slam begins to realize that the city he grew up in still has lots of secrets to hide.

This deluxe edition, written by Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) and illustrated by Eisner-nominated artist Phil Hester (Swamp Thing), collects Gotham City: Year One #1-6 and features a brand-new cover and foreword by Phil Hester, a director's cut of issue #1 showcasing the final lettering script and inks, behind-the scenes art by Hester, a variant cover gallery, and more!
