{"product_id":"batman-arkham-asylum-dc-compact-comics","title":"Batman: Arkham Asylum: DC Compact Comics","description":"Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's all-time classic Batman story is now available in a portable, 5.5\" x 8.5\" format!\n\nWritten by legendary comics creator Grant Morrison and beautifully drawn by artist Dave McKean, Batman: Arkham Asylum stands as one of the most perennially revered Batman comics of all time. Now, this celebrated graphic novel is more accessible than ever before, in a casual reader-friendly Compact Comics Edition!\n\nIn 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.\n\nMore 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.\n\nWithin 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.\n\nThat day has finally come.\n\nIt 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.\n\nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1799506991\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1799506991.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Morrison, Grant|McKean, Dave\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
