Batman : the long Halloween

Title Batman : the long Halloween Author Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Call Number PN6728.B36 L647 1998 Location 1st Floor Graphic Novel Rating Highly Recommended Book Review This title was recently donated to the library, and it had been almost 20 years since I'd last read it, so I picked it up again. and I am thrilled that I did. This book is incredible, and perhaps the best Batman story ever written, a  murder mystery that includes just about every one of the Batman's villains, and spanning an entire year. The story is beautiful, a complex and winding noir classic. But the art is what really elevates the book. Loeb and Sale have worked together and just about every iconic superhero ever and with great results, but this is their thesis statement. This book achieves what most sequential art aspires to: tells a complete and engaging story using both the story and writing to form a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
