Elseworlds one-shot. Something is stalking the streets of Gotham. A mysterious being is brutally slaying the villains that normally prey on the city's innocents, a supernatural and demonic creature that looks strangely like a bat. Billionaire Bruce Wayne confronts the menace of the "bat-Demon" and learns a shocking secret about himself and those closest to him in BATMAN/DEMON: A TRAGEDY, a dramatic Elseworlds one-shot in the Prestige Format written by Alan Grant (veteran writer of both characters) with lavish painted art by Jim Murray (BATMAN/JUDGE DREDD: DIE LAUGHING).
Batman is forced into an unholy alliance with Etrigan the Demon when a rash of ritual murders sweeps through Gotham, the work of another demon who has orchestrated these lethal black-magic slayings! Gothic terror and infernal schemes abound in a tale that takes the Dark Knight into the Abyss itself to fight for the lives of Gotham's people.
