Unlike any Batman book you've ever read. A psychological horror masterpiece from the minds of Grant Morrison and Dave McKean now presented in a beautiful Absolute edition format.

BATMAN CLASSIC, RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL BEAUTY

The lunatics take control of the asylum and the Dark Knight descends into this heart of madness alongside them in Batman: Arkham Asylum, one of the most successful graphic novels of all time. Written by legendary comics creator Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman) and stunningly illustrated by Dave McKean (Sandman), this dark and cerebral tale remains as captivating now as when it was first published.

Every page has been painstakingly revived to its true color and quality by the artist, leaving a breathtaking final product that matches his original painted artwork.

Also includes more than 100 pages of behind-the-scenes content, including the complete annotated script, sketches, pinup gallery, and afterwords by Morrison, McKean, and series editor Karen Berger
