| rdfs:comment | - Gotham by Gaslight is a DC Comics graphic novel by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola with inks by P. Craig Russell. It spawned a sequel Master of the Future (1991) also written by Augustyn but with art by Eduardo Barreto. Although not originally labeled as such, Gotham by Gaslight is now considered to be the first Elseworlds story, where DC Comics heroes are taken out of their usual setting and put into alternate timelines or realities. Subsequent printings have included the Elseworlds logo.

| Trivia | - * This issue includes an introduction by famed horror novelist Robert Bloch entitled "From Hell". From Hell is also the name of a graphic novel by Alan Moore, which likewise offered a unique interpretation of the Jack the Ripper murders. Bloch's introduction in this issue is from the perspective of Jack the Ripper and is crafted in the style of the famous "From Hell" letter.
* One of the buildings found in Gotham City boasts a sign "Sickert and Co." Walter Sickert was an English painter and one of many Ripper suspects.
* Prince Albert Victor makes a cameo appearance in this issue. Prince Albert was also suspected of being the Ripper.
* The universal setting for Gotham by Gaslight was designated as canon as Earth-1889 in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths. Post-52, it served as the basis for Earth-19.

| Synopsis | |
| Notes | - * This one-shot special is arguably the first "Elseworlds" publication, though the first comic book to actually carry the Elseworlds banner is Batman: Holy Terror. Gotham by Gaslight spawned a sequel entitled, Batman: Master of the Future which carried the Elseworlds imprint.
* This issue is ISBN 1-84576-403-X.
* Reference is made to the "English detective". This is undoubtedly a tongue-in-cheek reference to the literary 19th century British detective Sherlock Holmes. Holmes has also been established as an actual character in the mainstream Pre-Crisis DC Universe.
