About the series
In 1999, DC Comics published this two-issue prestige series from writer Doug Moench and artist Barry Kitson, which sends Batman into a dark, supernatural mystery. The story follows the Dark Knight as he investigates a series of bizarre murders linked to an ancient Egyptian artifact, blending Gotham's gritty crime with occult horror. Moench and Kitson’s collaboration delivers a tight, atmospheric thriller that explores the line between science and the supernatural in Batman’s world. Though brief, Book of the Dead stands as a memorable, self-contained tale from the late ’90s.
