BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM THE DELUXE EDITION HC
(W) Grant Morrison (A) DAVE MCKEAN (CA) DAVE MCKEAN
Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a place of dismal corridors and oppressive shadows—a dark riddle in stone and timber, best left unsolved. Within its claustrophobic walls, the demented and deformed enemies of the Batman brood in padded cells and unlit cellars, dreaming of a day when they might rise up and overthrow the world of reason. That day has finally come. It is April 1, and the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Led by The Joker, Arkham’s inmates issue a terrible ultimatum to the man responsible for their imprisonment. The Batman must descend into this heart of darkness, confront his greatest foes, and face the truth of his own divided identity—or condemn himself to share their fate. Written by legendary comics creator Grant Morrison and beautifully illustrated by artist DAVE MCKEAN, the timeless, genre-bending tale Batman: Arkham Asylum is brought back to its classic beauty in this deluxe hardcover edition, now with updated artwork lovingly restored by the artist himself!
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT AN ILLUMINATED EDITION
(W) Fyodor Dostoevsky (A) DAVE MCKEAN
Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1866 novel Crime and Punishment, arguably the first modern exploration of psychological realism, is not only a gem of Russian literature but an internationally renowned classic. Now this masterpiece has been vividly transformed by the powerful illustrations of renowned graphic artist DAVE MCKEAN, whose multimedia paintings are shrouded with the specters and shadows of Raskolnikov's fever dreams. Featuring over one hundred full-page paintings, spot illustrations and illuminated letters, and housed in an elaborately die-cut and embossed slipcase, this is an heirloom edition designed as a work of art in its own right.
