Batman: Year 100 #1A (DC Comics 2006) Pure Red Background - 1st Printing
Batman: Year 100 #1A from DC Comics presents the opening chapter of Paul Pope’s acclaimed Batman story set in Gotham City in the year 2039. This 2006 first printing.
A Batman mystery 100 years in the making
Detective Gordon—grandson of Commissioner Jim Gordon—is investigating the murder of a Federal agent when the case takes an impossible turn. The prime suspect is a man with no identity, no official existence, and a name that should belong only to legend: Batman.
Written, illustrated, and covered by Paul Pope, the issue launches a four-part miniseries with a stark vision of Gotham’s future. Pope’s creative control gives the story a unified visual and narrative style, while the 2039 setting reshapes familiar Batman mythology around government secrecy, identity, and a crime that appears to defy reality.
