The Neurotic Knight. Reminiscing on Grant Morrison and Dave McKean "Arkham Asylum"
View through CrossRef
The author of the article "The Neurotic Knight. Reminiscing on Grant Morrison's and
Dave McKean's Arkham Asylum" wishes to present modern reflections on the genesis of
one of the most popular comic books about Batman. To this end, he recalls the diegesis
of the cultural work, which takes into account the originality of the story, the perception
of the graphic novel, as well as directly references the thoughts of the authors, Grant
Morrison and Dave McKean. Particular focus is put on the therapeutic function of the
comic, a theme which was discussed in the scholarship of i.a. Janina Scarlet. The
character of Batman and his antagonists were portrayed in Arkham Asylum in a
groundbreaking, very symbolic way, which at the same time imbued the reader with a
sense of dread. Thirty years after the publication, the author of the article reminisces on
Morrison's and McKean's work, drawing upon modern research methods and pop-
cultural references alike.
