 Pennyworth (Comic Book)
comment
A 2021-2022 comic inspired by the show of the same name, Pennyworth was written by Scott Bryan Wilson while art was provided by Juan Gedeon. Despite the name, the comic is not canon to the show and instead provides a different origin for Alfred Pennyworth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Captured by an unknown foe, Alfred finds himself reminiscing about his life growing up the son of a butler as well as his adventures as a MI-5 agent. The flashbacks in particular show his relationship with childhood best friend and fellow agent Shirley Pemrose, as the two travel to the Soviet base Nagurskove. At the same time he attempts to figure out who has captured him, slowly realising how that old mission is returning to haunt him.

Childhood Friend Romance: Alfred and Shirley were best friends as children, but become a couple when actors and as agents they continue this relationship when they can. Which is why Alfred is heartbroken when she turns out to be a traitor and leaves him to die.

Adaptational Heroism: Instead of a butler loyal to a terrorist group like in the show, Alfred’s father is a spy who was murdered.

Alternate Continuity: It isn’t canon to the show, which also provides an origin for Alfred. It also doesn’t appear to be canon to the main comics, as it heavily retcons Alfred’s current comic book history and hasn’t been referenced in any other comics.
