In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the critically acclaimed Batman story that helped launch the U.S. careers of Grant Morrison and Dave McKean, DC Comics is proud to present the Arkham Asylum 15th Anniversary Edition --- a 216-page hardcover reprinting the now-classic confrontation between the Dark Knight and his archnemeses the Joker, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and more in the black heart of Gotham City's house for the criminally insane.

This entertaining, experimental graphic novel is well known for its psychological intensity and probing portraits of Batman and the Joker, as well as its mystical symbolism, powerful mood and riveting multi-media artwork. This special edition also includes Morrison's complete final script annotated by both himself and original editor Karen Berger, many of his original thumbnail breakdowns, samples of how the story and art came together, and more surprises!.

216 pages, $29.95, in stores on Oct. 20.

Cool. I never got a chance to read that. Now I can.

(I'm currently reading Dennis O'Neil's novelization of "Knightfall." It's pretty good.)
