USA magazine #36
"Des souris et des femmes" is a standout entry in the Batman mythos, written by Alan Moore and illustrated with striking precision by Brian Bolland, whose distinctive art and inks bring a chilling elegance to the tale. In this 1988 issue, the Joker’s twisted game escalates as he ambushes Commissioner Gordon’s home, shooting Barbara and taking Jim hostage, leading to a nightmarish confrontation at a warped carnival where madness and memory collide. The cover by Fershid Bharucha captures the story’s eerie tone, making this a must-have for collectors of Moore’s early work and Bolland’s iconic style.
In a chilling twist of terror, Batman races to stop the Joker, only to find the villain already at Commissioner Gordon’s home—where he shoots Barbara and takes Jim captive. Trapped in a warped carnival designed to break the mind, Jim must face his worst fears as the Joker pushes him toward madness.
