Description

Dave McKean Arkham Asylum Story Page 36 Original Art (DC, 1989). A rare convergence of the Joker and Two-Face defines this tense Arkham Asylum page, taken from a 100-plus page graphic novel where both appear only sparingly. The Joker commands the scene with quiet menace, one of only 17 appearances in the book, while Two-Face fumbles his cards. Batman looms in shadow across two panels, unable to impose control. This landmark work shifted Batman storytelling away from spectacle and toward psychological weight. Dave McKean's painted textures and fractured layouts dissolve the boundary between sanity and madness. The result is a defining scene from a one-shot that permanently altered the tone and ambition of Batman graphic novels. Rendered in mixed media on Bristol board with an image area of 14" x 21.75". In Excellent condition.
