Description

The most unforgettable page from this landmark graphic novel. Featured in McKean's major retrospective across the UK and Europe and later highlighted in The Complete History of Batman by Les Daniels, this piece stands as a vital entry in Batman's visual and psychological evolution. Joker's face fills the frame with grotesque intensity, his features stretched into a vision of chaos and lunacy while uttering "Aren't I good enough to eat?" Opposite him, Batman enters beneath gnarled trees announcing "I'm here Joker.", a shadowed figure drawn into a house ruled by madness. McKean's art is equal parts haunting and poetic, blending painterly surrealism with psychological weight. This terrifying page comes from a landmark story that helped define the mature readers era alongside Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns, reshaping how graphic novels approached psychological depth and visual storytelling.
