Gotham by Midnight, Volume 1 by Ray Fawkes

His people are the types who raise goosebumps when they walk into a room, and his seamy locations are almost smeared with a very limited wash palette, making everything creepy, as if the lights don’t work properly.įawkes introduces the cast and their purpose via an inspection from Internal Affairs wanting to know where their budget goes, then drops in their backgrounds amid a case of abducted children returned all speaking an incomprehensible language.

Ben Templesmith, best known for the frights of 30 Days of Night, supplies none of that, just relentless scratchy and unsettling atmosphere. That was disturbing, yet the art nonetheless had the comfort of at least adjoining the familiar. Under Ray Fawkes the results of their investigations produce surely the bleakest DC title since the days of Jamie Delano’s Hellblazer. He’s surrounded by a small cast of equally touched specialists, all of whom have glanced into the abyss.

He’s a tired and isolated man worn down by what he’s experienced, and what he knows is out there, yet he still gets up every night to do his job. Corrigan is also host to the Spectre, a manifestation of God’s wrath who metes out appropriate punishment to sinners, but that’s almost incidental, as Corrigan is the main feature, not the Spectre.
