Bruce Wayne s loyal mentor/butler Alfred Pennyworth has been around for 78 years, but has never had his own comic book series. Hasn t had one, that is, until now.
This August, DC is launching a comic book series centered on Alfred Pennyworth tying into the current Epix TV show Pennyworth, chronicling his time as a jet-setting espionage agent - but also fast-forwarding to his years working at Wayne Manor. This was announced as part of DC s August 2021 schedule. Spanning the years between the hit TV show and today, Pennyworth tells the continuing adventures of Alfred Pennyworth as an MI6 counterintelligence agent - this time in Cold War-era Soviet Russia, reads DC s description of the Pennyworth comic book series.
