'The Long Halloween' Comic Scans

For starters, i come baring three scans from the 'Long Halloween'. I'm araid our doctor isn't it much of it, but the scans I have here are definitely make buying the book worth it. (Well, that, and the art and the stroyline but SSSSSSH! X3)

Anyway, first one is both a page in the story AND a pin-up thingy, at least to me. XD Excellent shot of him escaping Arkham on horseback, no less.

And these two are both Crane and the mad hatter (Jervis Tetch), both of whom Carmine Falcone frred from Arkham to work for him. (And again, TLH was one of the books Goyer used when writing the script for BB)

Along with these next two images, I've included a little analysis on Crane. About what, you say? >3 Just look.

Now, I'm not sure if you all know this, but Crane strangled his mother years ago (I forgot when) on Mother's Day (which is mentioned in this). Reading both this and 'Haunted Knight', Crane often speaks in Mursery Rhymes. Now, I think that these some how connect with this homicide. Perhaps when he snapped, he had nothing to fall back on except his fascination with fear and what motivated it: his childhood.

...but it's jsut so darn creepy/freaky/cool when he goes around with these ryhmes! >D you'll see when I scan in 'Haunted knight'. There three stories in that one, the first being Crane. *heart*


Next Up to be Scanned: Batman: Haunted Knight: Fears

OH YES. Poor Crane! He just needs love...and perhaps a shrink.

...he'd probably kill the shrink or cause him/her to go insane befor emaking any progress. :D;

*snicker* Probably cause them to go insane, and THEN they'd die. :P

alas, alas XD

(He reminds me a bit of Etrigen from Green Arrow... [note: I've only read one book of Green Arrow, and it had Etrigen in it. Who would only talk in rhymes unless he was being Blood, was it? XD])

(I'm afraid i know next to zilch on Green Arrow, save for what i've seen on JLU. but I'm aiming to pick up this book that has GA, Batsy and GL (Hal jordan, i think....or maybe Kyle Rainer)...)

Oh~ Well Etrigen is like a demon. And he was speaking in rhymes as he tried to kill Green Arrow. It was great X3

Speaking in rhymes is so much fun! :3

Etrigen is a demon, and in the DCU one of the more powerful hierarchies of demons are "Rhymers"

Gone, gone the form of man,
and rise the demon Etrigan!


Hehehe!

He had his own book for a while...I don't know if he still does, though. Strangely enough, it was called "Demon". ^_^

Nice scans.

That or Crane would make the shrinks worship him as the Master of Fear.

If you REALLY want lotsa Crane, go for 'Haunted Knight'. He gets a story all to himself. :3 or even better, just buy 'Scarecrow Tales'
