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

Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and more in the black heart of Gotham City's

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!
