Description
Dive into one of the most haunting Detective Comics issues ever written — Detective Comics #875, featuring Scott Snyder at his storytelling best and Francesco Francavilla’s atmospheric noir artwork. This powerful standalone tale, “Lost Boys,” shifts the focus to Commissioner James Gordon as he confronts the ghosts of Gotham’s past — and his own.
When a long-cold murder resurfaces, Gordon must piece together a mystery that strikes too close to home. Snyder’s sharp, emotional writing paired with Francavilla’s moody palette creates a gripping detective story that blends crime drama with gothic intensity.
Praised for its cinematic storytelling, psychological depth, and masterful art, this issue is a highlight of Snyder’s pre–New 52 Batman era and a must-read for fans of Gotham Central and noir-inspired comics.
An essential piece of modern DC storytelling for Batman, Gordon, and true detective fiction collectors.
