Catalogue note
Detailed catalogue note not recoverable from the accessible source state. The record is retained without inference.
Recovery note: Date promoted from the migrated canonical edition statement: first UK edition, December 1989. Creator relationships are verified against DC's account of the original Gotham by Gaslight story. Whole-collection audit assigns 8.5 because this near-contemporary first UK edition preserves the story whose success launched the Elseworlds concept.
Legacy record ID: GN-036
Why this object matters
The first UK December 1989 Gotham by Gaslight is a contemporary territorial edition of the work DC identifies as the origin of Elseworlds. That exact publication state warrants a modest increase over later collections, while remaining distinct from a first US printing.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
