Batman: The Long Halloween Deluxe Edition The Prequel: Haunted Knight

In 2022, DC Comics released this deluxe-edition prequel to Batman: The Long Halloween, collecting the three acclaimed holiday-themed one-shots—"Fears," "Madness," and "Ghosts"—that writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale originally produced in the mid-1990s. These haunting, atmospheric stories explore a younger Batman's psyche as he confronts the Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter, and the Penguin, laying the emotional and visual groundwork for the epic mystery to come. More than a simple reprint, this volume includes new material and serves as an essential companion for fans of Loeb and Sale's celebrated run on the Dark Knight.
