Batman - Gotham Knights

Batman: Gotham Knights was a monthly comic book series published by DC Comics. The original intent of this book was to feature the exploits of Batman and his extended family - Alfred Pennyworth, Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, Oracle, Catwoman, etc. The latter section of the run, however, came to focus much more upon the villains of the Batman.


The series also featured the popular "Batman: Black and White" back-up strip, which allowed various artists with widely varying styles to do their take on the Dark Knight in a black and white format. These back-up strips are also collected in trade paperback form. Contributors to this section include Jim Lee, Harlan Ellison, Gene Ha, Dave Gibbons, and Jill Thompson.

Batman: Gotham Knights began in March 2000 and ran for a total of 74 issues. The last issue was published in April 2006. This title was among several which were cancelled at the conclusion of the Infinite Crisis storyline, as part of the "One Year Later" event focused around the upcoming 52 series.

Tom Strong

Tom Strong

Tom Strong was a bi-monthly comic book created by writer Alan Moore and artist Chris Sprouse published by America's Best Comics, an imprint of DC Comics' Wildstorm division.

Tom Strong, the title character, is a "science hero". He was raised in a high-gravity chamber and given an intensive education by his somewhat eccentric mad scientist father, on the fictional West Indian island of Attabar Teru. His upbringing, plus ingesting a root used by the natives of the island for health and long life, have made him nearly physically and mentally perfect. Though born at the dawn of the 20th century, he only appears to be in his forties as of the year 2000.

As Characters have been featured in The Kingdom, Infinite Crisis and Ion I thought this would be a good time to publish these links (especially with the direction appears to be going at the moment)

Tangent Comics was a DC Comics imprint created in 1997-1998, developed from ideas created by Dan Jurgens. The line, formed from various one-shots, focused on creating all-new characters using established DC names, such as the Joker, Batman, and the Flash.
