Batman: Scar of the Bat #1

In Prohibition-era Chicago, the "Untouchables" wage war on Al Capone and his criminal empire, aided by a mysterious "bat-man" who may be more foe than friend. Batman: Scar of the Bat is a hard-boiled Elseworlds one-shot written by Max Allan Collins (award-winning co-creator of Ms. Tree) and illustrated by Eduardo Barreto (Superman: Speeding Bullets, Batman: Master of the Future). Together, they painstakingly evoke the smokey, streetwise, tommy-gun flavor of an era when life was cheap, death came easy, and enemies were encased in concrete. Prestige Format.
