Graphic novels to read anywhere: DC Compact Comics collect DC’s bestselling, most iconic stories in a new size! Experience Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s incredible Batman epic in a brand-new format for the first time! Christmas. St. Patrick’s Day. Easter. As the calendar’s days stack up, so do the bodies littered in the streets of Gotham City. A murderer is loose, killing only on holidays. The only man that can stop this fiend? The Dark Knight. In a mystery taking place during Batman’s early days of crime-fighting, Batman: The Long Halloween is one of the greatest Dark Knight stories ever told. Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Batman’s deadly enemy, Two-Face. The magnificent creative team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale reach their apex in Batman: The Long Halloween . Review: An absolute must-read - I'm fairly new to comics, especially DC/Batman, but man is this a fantastic comic. 'The long Halloween' follows GCPD and Batman as they try to find a way to bring some of the most powerful criminals in Gotham to justice, when a new serial killer known as 'Holiday' pops up killing members of these criminal organizations, with their calling card as the date of the killings. It's an incredibly interesting mystery to watch unfold with excellent art at every page. You get a good explanation of each character if you aren't familiar, and a taste of some of Batman's rouges gallery in some issues. The Compact Comic edition is also excellent. $10 for one of the best Batman stories is a steal. Compared to the other Compacts, I believe this is the thickest of them all with over 350 pages. Gutter loss is also not too bad, didn't need to stretch the spine much to read long panels. As with most desertcart books/comics you will need to be wary of some of the packaging methods, the book does not come in shrink-wrap to keep pages together so the paperback cover or some pages can get folded or bent. Luckily haven't had that issue pop up too often, but it is certainly possible. Review: Arrived Fast & In Perfect Condition — Great Gift for a Batman Fan - This Batman: The Long Halloween compact edition arrived quickly and in perfect condition, which is exactly what you hope for when ordering books. My son hasn’t finished reading it yet, but he was really happy to get it for Christmas — this was one he’d really been wanting. So far, no complaints at all. Great price, fast shipping, and a happy Batman fan in the house.

One of the best Batman stories of all time
Batman: The Long Halloween is one of those rare graphic novels that actually lives up to the hype. The story is tight, atmospheric, and keeps you guessing all the way through. The blend of noir detective work with classic Batman villains works perfectly, and the art style nails the tone: moody without being overdone. If you want a Batman story that feels smart, layered, and genuinely engaging, this is absolutely worth picking up.

The definative Batman mystery.
Overall: 10/10. A must buy for both Batman fans and newcomers. Story: 10/10 The Long Halloween was recommended to me as the definitive Batman mystery story, and I’m pleased to say it exceeds those expectations. I won’t go into the plot, as it’s best experienced with no prior knowledge (Avoid the blurb if possible), but the writing is gripping. It captures everything you could want from a Batman mystery and executes it flawlessly. Art: 10/10 The artwork is incredible and worth the purchase on its own. Tim Sale is a genius at his craft. Product Condition: 9/10 The spine has a small bump but is overall negligable. The paper maintains the quality you'd expect, but the text can sometimes lose some color, though it's never to the point that the words are unreadable. The compact format can slightly affect the readability of some double-page spreads, but it doesn’t detract from the overall experience, and given the price, is well worth it.

Great classic
It lives up to the hype. Such a great comic I was hooked from start to finish. The artwork is amazing and the book introduces a lot of Batman’s rouges gallery. Can really recommend, it came on time and in great condition.
