Where all compulsions meet. In 1920, following the death of his
disturbed mother, brilliant psychologist Amadeus Arkham began the
conversion of his ancestral home into a hospital for the treatment
of the mentally ill. More than half a century later, the 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 1st, 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
and restored by artist Dave McKean, this deluxe edition collects
the fully painted story together with Morrison s complete annotated
script and page layouts as well as a 16-page gallery of preliminary
and promotional art by McKean and an afterword by editor Karen
Berger.
