Stories

  • El Mal Duerme Bien · 40 pages

    Years ago, after most organized crime gangs in Gotham have been eliminated, Gordon turns his attention to weeding out the dirty cops on the force. Meanwhile, the Joker sees an opportunity to step up his own crimes to fill the void left by the absence of the crime families, and recruits other costumed villains to his cause.

Publisher’s description

His first year of being GCPD police commissioner was an intense challenge for James Gordon. He battled corruption in the ranks, his marriage was in shambles, and the vigilante Batman was clearly welcoming new recruits with the appearance of Batgirl. And The Joker picked his moment to unleash hell!
