Notes
- The comic's storyline is split into three time periods that tangentially connect to the ongoing narrative.
- Alfred's early years prior to joining the British armed forces at age 16, 10 years before the events of the Pennyworth television series.
- Alfred working as a covert counter-intelligence agent for MI5 during the mid-1970s, a few years before accepting Thomas Wayne's offer to become the family 'butler'[1] and following Downing Street's destruction in Pennyworth's series finale[2], including its eventual reconstruction.[3]
- The 'present day' events of Alfred's capture at some point in the 2010s, around 40 years[4] after the flashbacks set in the 1970s and many years after Gotham's series finale.
