USA magazine #36

"Des souris et des femmes" is a standout entry in the Batman mythos, written by Alan Moore and illustrated with striking precision by Brian Bolland, whose distinctive art and inks bring a chilling elegance to the tale. In this 1988 issue, the Joker’s twisted game escalates as he ambushes Commissioner Gordon’s home, shooting Barbara and taking Jim hostage, leading to a nightmarish confrontation at a warped carnival where madness and memory collide. The cover by Fershid Bharucha captures the story’s eerie tone, making this a must-have for collectors of Moore’s early work and Bolland’s iconic style.
