Batman: The Last Halloween – The Greatest Story Ever?
The Batman: The Long Halloween saga has profoundly marked the mythology of the Dark Knight, inspiring films, TV series and leaving an indelible mark on comics. Now, almost thirty years later, Jeph Loeb returns with Batman: The Last Halloween , a miniseries that definitively closes the war between the freaks and the crime families of Gotham.
A Tribute to Tim Sale
The new miniseries was planned by Loeb together with Tim Sale before the artist's untimely death in 2022. To carry out the project, DC Comics entrusted the drawings to a team of high-level artists, including Eduardo Risso, Klaus Janson and Mark Chiarello. The result is a work that pays homage to Sale's work, maintaining the noir and dark atmosphere that made The Long Halloween iconic .
