Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for more than twenty years, beginning with his legendary runs on the revolutionary titles ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then he has written numerous best-sellers, including JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as the critically acclaimed creator-owned series THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. Morrison has also expanded the borders of the DC Universe in the award-winning pages of SEVEN SOLDIERS, ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, FINAL CRISIS and BATMAN, INC.
"Morrison's first big commercial hit—and his first shot writing
Batman, a character he would spend a great deal of time with over
the course of his career—was this ground-breaking graphic novel
featuring the grim, twisted artwork of painter Dave McKean. In this
darkly poetic, psychologically rich tale, Batman faces off against
the Joker, Two-Face, the Scarecrow and other villains inside Gotham
City's house for the criminally insane."—ROLLING STONE
"Grant Morrison and Dave McKean explore that connection in Arkham
Asylum, one of the finest superhero books to ever grace a
bookshelf."—IGN
"Between Morrison's esoteric writing and Dave McKean's gorgeous
painting, this may very well be my nominee for the definitive
Batman story. Yes, even more so than The Dark Knight Returns, Year
One, or The Killing Joke. Exploring both Batman and his rogues
equally through significantly different characterizations than
typically seen in the main DCU, Morrison boils these characters
down to their essence while providing a chilling mystery story set
within the confines of Gotham's home for the criminally
insane."—CRAVE ONLINE
