A serious house on serious earth
Writ: Grant Morrison Illustrator: Dave McKean

From the journals of Amadeus Arkham: In the years following my mother’s death, I think it’s true to say that the house became my whole world.
I think one the main reasons I picked this book up was because of the illustrator. I love Dave McKean’s style. But the fact that the story was written by Grant Morrison certainly didn’t hinder my purchase. After all he did produce the weirdness that was Lovely Biscuits, not to mention one of my favourite comics of all time, We3. And I really wasn’t disappointed with Arkham Asylum.
