Barkham Asylum

Yehudi Mercado brings his signature blend of humor and heart to DC's animal kingdom with Barkham Asylum, a 2024 series that reimagines Gotham's most infamous psychiatric prison as a shelter for its four-legged citizens. Published by DC, this debut issue introduces a world where Batman's canine counterpart must navigate a menagerie of super-powered pets and strays. Mercado, who writes and illustrates the entire run, crafts a playful yet tender story that expands the Batman mythos from a fresh, furry perspective.
