Arkham Asylum: Living Hell #4

Something deeply unsettling lurks within Arkham's walls — Eric Powell's painted cover for this fourth chapter of Arkham Asylum: Living Hell fills the frame with a massive, reptilian creature, its textured green flesh and blood-red eyes dominating the image with quiet, creeping dread. Reflected in those crimson eyes are two small human figures, a chilling reminder of just how helpless anyone caught in this monster's gaze might be. With Dan Slott writing, Ryan Sook on interior art, and the story titled "Tic Toc," this 2003 DC series continues to prove that Gotham's most infamous institution harbors horrors that go well beyond its infamous inmates.
