Dave Mckean

Dave Mckean's Arkham Asylum.

This is a page from Arkham Asylum, Dave Mckean's Illustrations
have depicted the dark night darker than ever before. I love these
illustrations, the vivid reds and greens contrasted with the Moody
dark blue surroundings create an undeniably evil Joker. The
slightest shadows and highlights hinting at the presence of BatMan
but never actually showing him in his full form creates a Mystery
which is lacking in other batman comics, generally due to over
dramatising.
