This review is from: BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM A Serious House on Serious Earth (Paperback)

This is absolutely exquisite, as a piece of storytelling and a piece of art. Dave McKean's art is layered, with various textures present. I'm particularly fond of a page with a lace curtain wafting over the scene depicted. The story is quite unsettling, but beautifully told. I think this was my first graphic novel, and the first time I experienced comics that weren't designed for car trips, but to make one think and appreciate the form. I cannot recommend it enough. See also McKean's work with Neil Gaiman, esp. "Violent Cases".
