Batman creators past, present and future unite for an all-star issue celebrating the Dark Knight.
DETECTIVE COMICS #27 is an anniversary spectacular serving as an homage to the original DETECTIVE COMICS #27, which marked Batman’s comic debut in 1939.
The mega issue includes a modern-day retelling of the Dark Knight’s origin by the team of writer Brad Meltzer (Identity Crisis) and artist Bryan Hitch. Plus, all-new stories by current Batman writer Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy of The Wake, Peter J. Tomasi and Guillem March, Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen, Gregg Hurwitz and Neal Adams, new art by legendary The Dark Knight Returns writer/artist Frank Miller.
This milestone issue will include variant covers by Neal Adams, Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, Chris Burnham, Kelley Jones, Patrick Gleason and Mike Allred.
This issue includes the first part of John Layman and Jason Fabok’s final storyline, “Gothtopia,” where Bruce finds himself in a shiny Gotham City that’s not at all what it seems.
Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato (The Flash) take over writing duties for the series in the spring.
Detective Comics #27 arrives Wednesday.
