DC Comics · Batman: Gotham Knights #32 · October 2002 · $2.75 · 32 pages
Grade: VF+ 8.5
Main story inked by John Floyd.
Cover artists not credited in available data.
The main story is written by Devin Grayson and penciled by Roger Robinson, inked by John Floyd. Grayson's run on Gotham Knights used the title to dig into Batman's relationships with his extended family and supporting cast — psychological territory the main Bat-titles rarely had room for. Robinson's work here carries the moody, shadow-heavy quality that defined his tenure on the book.
The Batman Black & White backup is written by Mark Askwith and illustrated by Michael Kaluta. The B&W backups were a recurring feature in Gotham Knights, giving short-form slots to artists who brought a very different sensibility to the character. Kaluta's Batman is exactly what you'd expect from him — decorative, atmospheric, steeped in pulp and Art Nouveau influence. He drew the Dark Knight only rarely across his career, which makes any Kaluta Batman page worth noting.
Gotham Knights ran 74 issues from 2000 to 2006 and served as a character-driven companion to the main Bat-line. Issue #32 sits in the middle of Grayson's long tenure — not a landmark issue, but a solid example of the book doing what it did best, and the Kaluta backup is the pull here for most collectors.
Condition VF+ 8.5 — . This signed copy presents with the Kaluta signature factored into the grade. Noting: signed by Kaluta.
