USA magazine #37
"Enfer Vert" is a standout issue in the Batman mythos, written by Alan Moore and illustrated with chilling precision by Brian Bolland, whose inks and John Higgins' colors heighten the psychological dread of a twisted carnival nightmare. When the Joker abducts Commissioner Gordon and traps him in a grotesque, altered funhouse designed to break his mind—using disturbing imagery that haunts him—the Dark Knight’s arrival brings a grim counterpoint to the Joker’s madness. The cover by Enric captures the eerie spectacle, making this 1988 issue a must-have for fans of Moore’s early work and Bolland’s iconic art.
