Batman: The Long Halloween (TP)

A killer strikes again—this time on holidays.

During Batman’s early days, a mysterious assailant known as Holiday begins murdering mobsters on specific dates—Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine’s. With Gotham in a panic, Batman teams up with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Commissioner Gordon to track the killer before the next holiday arrives, uncovering dark secrets within the mob underworld.

As the body count rises, familiar faces flicker between ally and suspect—hardboiled, noir-tinged, and full of grim inevitability. Adding tension: every holiday means a new victim, and every victim chips away at the fragile order Dent, Gordon, and Batman are trying to uphold .

Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale deliver darkly beautiful storytelling, drenched in mood and heavy with moral weight. The Long Halloween remains a staple of Batman lore—a bridge between Batman: Year One and the rise of Two-Face, and a masterclass in atmosphere and pacing.

This trade paperback collects the complete 13-issue series—384 pages, originally published October 11, 2011, with restored full-color pages and bonus content.
